Dataset for: Vermilion flycatchers avoid singing during sudden peaks of anthropogenic noise

<p>Dataset from a playback experiment with free-living vermilion flycatchers&nbsp;where we show that they stop singing when traffic noise levels suddently increase (as would occur when a car passes by). This behavior may be a strategy to increase the probability of detection by singing in periods when&nbsp;noise levels are lower. Males&#39; responses toward the noise playbacks were&nbsp;also related with the level of artificial light at night (ALAN) in males&#39; territories, where males living in brighter territories shortened their song bout length to a lesser extent during noise exposure than those males living in territories with lower levels of ALAN, suggesting ALAN may decrease the extent at which traffic noise affects male singing behavior.</p>
