Anthropogenic noise triggers mortality and molecular stress in the copper-blooded marine invertebrate: The horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus)

Highlights: Noise causes dose-dependent mortality and behavioral changes in Tachypleus tridentatus. Acoustic stress induces oxidative damage and disrupts antioxidant defenses. Heat shock proteins and stress pathways activate under noise exposure. α-Actinin is a stable reference gene for gene expression studies under noise stress. This study reveals underwater noise as a significant emerging pollutant threatening horseshoe crab survival and health. Abstract: The rapid expansion of offshore wind farms to meet clean energy demands has raised concerns about the effects of anthropogenic . . .
