摘要
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has the potential to change the day-night activity of marine benthic grazers, and can therefore alter the top-down control they exert on macroalgal communities. In laboratory experiments, we investigated the influence of three realistic ALAN regimes on food consumption and feeding rhythmicity in the sea urchins Arbacia lixula and Paracentrotus lividus as well as in the snail Cerithium spp. from the Adriatic Sea. Food consumption was assessed in assays with algal pellets, while feeding rhythms were documented with 24 h time-lapse photography. Both was done in ALAN-acclimated and in non-acclimated animals. We observed temporary and potential long-term changes in the feeding rhythms of Cerithium spp. and Paracentrotus lividus, respectively, but found no lasting influence of ALAN on consumption rates. Effects were weaker when ALAN was applied only part-night, which suggests a possible mitigation measure to reduce the impact of nighttime lighting on coastal ecosystems.
