Light in the Darkness: Responses to Light and Diel Activity Rhythm in an Eyeless Cave Flatworm (Dendrocoelum italicum)
ABSTRACT Troglobiont species show common traits derived from adaptation to subterranean life. Due to lack of light in cave environments most troglobiont species show eye reduction or even loss, often accompanied by a disruption of diel rhythmicity. Although cave adaptation and eye absence generally...
