Long-term effects of chronic light pollution on seasonal functions of European blackbirds (turdus merula) [PDF]

, 2013
Light pollution is known to affect important biological functions of wild animals, including daily and annual cycles. However, knowledge about long-term effects of chronic exposure to artificial light at night is still very limited.

Artificial light and nocturnal activity in gammarids [PDF]

, 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.

Urban-like night illumination reduces melatonin release in European blackbirds (Turdus merula): implications of city life for biological time-keeping of songbirds [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Introduction: Artificial light-at-night is known to affect a broad array of behaviours and physiological processes. In urbanized bird species, light-at-night advances important biological rhythms such as daily cycles of activity/rest and timing

Ecological effects of artificial light at night on wild plants [PDF]

, 2016
PublishedSummary 1.Plants use light as a source of both energy and information. Plant physiological responses to light, and interactions between plants and animals (such as herbivory and pollination), have evolved under a more or less stable regime of ...

Citizen Science Provides Valuable Data for Monitoring Global Night Sky Luminance [PDF]

, 2013
The skyglow produced by artificial lights at night is one of the most dramatic anthropogenic modifications of Earth’s biosphere. The GLOBE at Night citizen science project allows individual observers to quantify skyglow using star maps showing ...

Contrasting trends in light pollution across Europe based on satellite observed night time lights. [PDF]

, 2016
Since the 1970s nighttime satellite images of the Earth from space have provided a striking illustration of the extent of artificial light. Meanwhile, growing awareness of adverse impacts of artificial light at night on scientific astronomy, human health,

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]

, 2018
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

Using all-sky differential photometry to investigate how nocturnal clouds darken the night sky in rural areas

, 2019
Artificial light at night has affected most of the natural nocturnal landscapes worldwide and the subsequent light pollution has diverse effects on flora, fauna and human well-being. To evaluate the environmental impacts of light pollution, it is crucial
