We think of pollution as plastic floating or oil leaking… but what about ✨light✨? Artificial light at night can disrupt insects moving between water 💧 and land 🌲 with ripple effects across ecosystems. The Behavioural Ecology Lab @helsinki.fi is studying just this! 🔬 #LightPollution #Biodiversity
Celebration of project funding: Impact of light pollution on stream invertebrates. 🍾🎉🤩 Clio Hall @clio-bio.bsky.social starting as post-doc and Erika Ojala as PhD student. Thank you @koneensaatio.fi
Clio Hall@clio-bio.bsky.social · 6mo ago@koneensaatio.fi celebration was popping! Very proud to be part of this amazing community 💃🏼 Now let’s do some great science! 🧬
Welcome Clio – delighted to have you join us. Clio will work on the impact of light pollution on stream invertebrate communities, focusing on the use of molecular methods, eDNA and eRNA to assess effects. #lightpollution #eDNA @helsinki.fi

Warmer light colours are often put forward as the solution to the #lightpollution issue. However, some species are attracted to warmer colours, such as #glowworms, suggesting that filtering out blue light has limited capacity to solve the light pollution problem rdcu.be/eJDB4
New paper on the demographic history of the European #glowworm, revealing strong population structure and low gene flow. Adult females sedentary and only males fly, and adults live for only a couple of weeks.
