There is an urgent need to determine the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) on invertebrate animals in aquatic environments. This project addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the effects of ALAN on the behaviour, and differential expression of clock-controlled genes in key ecological invertebrates representing marine and freshwater environments. In doing so, we aim to address the following question:Does 'ALAN' impact circadian clock function and associated rhythms in behaviour and gene expression in marine and freshwater crustaceans?

目前迫切需要确定夜间人工照明（ALAN）对水生环境中无脊椎动物的影响。该项目通过调查ALAN对行为的影响以及代表海洋和淡水环境的关键生态无脊椎动物中时钟控制基因的差异表达来解决这一知识差距。在这样做的时候，我们的目标是解决以下问题：“ALAN”是否会影响海洋和淡水甲壳类动物的生物钟功能和相关的行为和基因表达节奏？
