Artificial Light at Night and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]

Diabetes & Metabolism Journal
The widespread and pervasive use of artificial light at night (ALAN) in our modern 24-hour society has emerged as a substantial disruptor of natural circadian rhythms, potentially leading to a rise in unhealthy lifestyle-related behaviors (e.g., poor ...

Artificial light at night bans Chaoborus from vital epilimnetic waters [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is known to affect organisms in terrestrial ecosystems and adjacent litoral habitats. In the present study, we tested the effect of ALAN on the spatial distribution of organisms in open waters, using the insect larvae of ...

Artificial light and nocturnal activity in gammarids [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Artificial light is gaining attention as a potential stressor to aquatic ecosystems. Artificial lights located near streams increase light levels experienced by stream invertebrates and we hypothesized light would depress night drift rates.

Artificial light at night and risk of depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine
Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been increasingly recognized as a potential environmental risk factor for mental health issues. However, no meta-analyses have been conducted to summarize the findings.

Shedding light on dark taxa: exploring a cryptic diversity of parasitoid wasps affected by artificial light at night [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Artificial light at night (ALAN) contributes to the globally observed insect decline. ALAN attracts nocturnal insects from their native ecosystems and disturbs their functions in the food web.
