“…Non‐pre‐exposed fish indeed differed in their maximum feeding rate between ambient noise and boat noise, and we would expect the same difference with pre‐exposed fish if it resulted only from the noise‐induced movements of the Chaoborus larvae. Our findings provide additional support that invertebrates, as well as vertebrates, may be sensitive to noise pollution (Morley et al., 2014; Solé et al., 2016; Villalobos‐Jiménez et al., 2017; Wale et al., 2019), a topic that deserves more attention given the ecological processes within which they are embedded (e.g. leaf‐litter breakdown, nutrient recycling, see Solan et al., 2016).…”

Freshwater communities worldwide include many exotic invasive species whose spread is facilitated by the increase in shipping for commercial and recreational purposes (Levine & D'Antonio, 2003; Perrings et al., 2005; Reid et al., 2019). Tolerance to human-induced environmental changes such as thermal stress (Zerebecki & Sorte, 2011), hypoxia (Lagos et al. 2017), and increased salinity (Ellis & MacIsaac, 2009) contributes to the success of invasive species.Among the various threats to freshwater communities (Dudgeon et al., 2006), the degradation of soundscapes concomitant with commercial and recreational activities is considered an emerging

“…Anthropogenic noise, and the effect it has on biological systems, has been well studied throughout different taxa, with research highlighting the consequences this acoustic pollutant can have on juvenile development (Nedelec et al 2015;Injaian et al 2018), species abundance or diversity Bunkley et al 2017) and greater ecological processes (Francis et al 2012;Wale et al 2019), for instance. In field crickets alone, research has shown that anthropogenic noise can disrupt the phonotactic behaviour of females (Schmidt et al 2014;Bent et al 2018) Immediate implications of this may result in changes to an individual's fitness prospects due to altered or missed mating opportunities.…”

Anthropogenic noise disrupts mate choice behaviors in femaleGryllus bimaculatus

By assessing the sexual signals produced by conspecifics, individuals can make informed decisions on the best choice of mate, which can lead to reproductive fitness benefits. However, these communication systems are often vulnerable to disruption by conflicting with stimuli present in the environment. Anthropogenic noise may act as one such disruptive stimulus, leading to inefficient mate choice decisions and, thus, reductions to an animal’s fitness. In this study, the mate choice behaviors of female Gryllus bimaculatus were tested when presented with artificial male courtship songs of differing “quality” under different acoustic conditions. In ambient noise conditions, females significantly preferred mates paired with higher-quality songs, indicated by increased mating rates and reduced latency to mate. However, this mate selection pattern was disrupted in both traffic and white noise conditions. Additionally, “high-quality” courtship songs had an increased mounting latency in traffic and white noise conditions, when compared to ambient noise conditions. Making nonoptimal mating decisions, such as the ones seen here, can lead to deleterious fitness consequences, alter population dynamics, and weaken sexual selection, unless individuals adapt to cope with anthropogenic interference.

“…MDA is an indicator of the degree of lipid peroxidation in the cell membrane (Xu et al, 2018). Exposure of mussels (Mytilus edulis) to anthropogenic noise revealed lipid peroxidation in gill epithelial cells and DNA damage in blood cells, indicating a negative effect of anthropogenic noise on mussels (Wale et al, 2019). Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels were increased in the blood of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) juveniles exposed to offshore culture noise.…”

Low-frequency noise has become a marine pollutant that cannot be ignored, but most studies have focused on the behavioral and physiological effects on marine vertebrates, with few studies in marine mollusks. Therefore, sea slug was used in this study to investigate the effect of low-frequency noise on its physiological aspects. This experiment was designed with different low-frequency noise (0, 100, 300, and 500 Hz) and different stimulation times (0, 6, and 12 h) to measure superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and catalase (CAT) activities in hemolymph and transcriptomics in the control (C) and 6 and 12 h groups (L1 and L2) with 500 Hz noise. The results showed a positive correlation between antioxidant enzyme activity and low-frequency noise frequency (P < 0.05) and no correlation with time (P > 0.05). In central nervous system (CNS) transcriptomics, 2,460 and 3,268 genes had upregulated expression and 2,765 and 2,783 genes had downregulated expression in the L1 and L2 groups, respectively, compared to the C group. According to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, low-frequency noise mainly affects signaling pathways such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, the FoxO signaling pathway, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, apoptosis immune-related pathways, and energy metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and glycerophospholipid metabolism, as well as neurological pathways such as GABAergic synapses, the synaptic vesicle cycle, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurological pathways. This study would provide valuable reference information on the potential response of mollusks to low-frequency noise stress.
