 This study examined the effect of anthropogenic underwater noise on the feeding behavior of the copepod Akartia tansa. Results showed that noise negatively affected the ingestion and clearance rates of the copepod, suggesting that noise could potentially disrupt food web dynamics by reducing the efficiency of zooplankton grazing. Further research is needed to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind these findings. This article was authored by Seski Akun, Francisca King, and Katia Hubel.
