Means ± standard errors (sample size) and associated generalized linear mixed outputs from models exploring the initial (week 0 after final moult) effect of lifelong ALAN exposure (0, 1, 10, and 100 lx) Ln (haemocyte concentration in cells/mL × 106) (A, D), change in lytic activity (B, E) and change in phenoloxidase (PO) activity (C, F) for females and males respectively. Family and assay plate number were included as random terms in all models. Significant P‐values highlighted in bold
