Evidence of separate influence of moon and sun on light synchronization of mussel's daily rhythm during the polar night
Marine organisms living at high latitudes are faced with a light climate that undergoes drastic annual changes, especially during the polar night (PN) when the sun remains below the horizon for months. This raises the question of a possible synchronization and entrainment of biological rhythms under...
