This project investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind circalunar clocks in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii, focusing on how lunar light influences reproductive behavior. It aims to identify the lunar light sensors and associated genes, enhancing our understanding of biological rhythms distinct from c…
Numerous scientific studies have established that the lunar cycle synchronizes reproductive behaviour and sexual maturation of animals as diverse as corals, polychaetes and fishes.
Classical and recent work shows that in animals such as the annelid Platynereis dumerilii, dim nocturnal light serves as entrainment cue for an endogenous oscillator – a circalunar clock – that orchestrates reproductive and behavioral cycles.
As circalunar clocks run with a (semi-)monthly period, they represent a fund…
