Light pollution attracts and disorients photophilic animals, those that follow light. |

However, it seems very unlikely here that the photophilic behavior could be the cause rather than the consequence of the infection. |

In addition, the fact that the photophilic behavior is not maintained once the worm has emerged strongly supports the idea that the infection was the cause and not the consequence of the photophilic behavior. |

Five types of Mediterranean marine ecosystem were studied: Posidonia meadow areas, corallogenic areas, hard substrate areas with photophilic algae, soft substrate areas and the open sea. |
