	abstract = {Global anthropogenic oceanic noise caused by shipping is predicted to double every 11.5 yr, putting marine organisms at risk. While the impact of noise on marine mammals is well documented, its effects on molluscs, which hold immense economic and ecological importance, remain largely unknown. To investigate the consequences of noise on mollusc metabolism during crucial early life stages, blue mussel Mytilus edulis larvae were exposed to shipping noise in a laboratory setting until the post-larval stage and their metabolome was analysed. Multivariate analyses of the metabolome showed that shipping noise induced stress-related inflammation with increased energy demand, higher protein turnover, and disrupted nervous system activity. Consequently, noise promoted delayed metamorphosis in suboptimal habitats with greater metabolic costs, which may affect ecosystem and aquaculture sustainability as competent mussel larvae struggle to select suitable development habitats. Without action to limit underwater noise, such impacts could disrupt population structures and marine biodiversity.},

	abstract = {Introduction: Noise pollution is a major stressor in the marine environment; however, responses of economically and ecologically important invertebrates, such as oysters, are largely unknown. Methods: Under laboratory conditions, we measured acute behavioral and physiological responses of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) to sound treatments mimicking human activity in the environment.<br>
Results: Oysters immediately reduced their valve gape under simulated pile driving sound, but not drilling or boating sound. Pile-driving sound also reduced adductor muscle glycogen, but not triglyceride. None of the sound treatments affected longer-term (12 hours) valve activity levels after the administration of sounds. Interestingly, neither acute nor longer-term valve gaping responses were correlated with glycogen content on the individual level, suggesting that the observed behavioral responses to sound were not mechanistically driven by energetic physiology.<br>
Discussion: Our results suggest that C. virginica responds to some, but not all, anthropogenic sounds. Future studies assessing downstream effects on growth, reproduction, and survival in the wild are needed to better understand the effects of anthropogenic sounds on oyster populations and the biological communities they support.},
