Streetlights Disrupt Night-Time Sleep in Urban Black Swans
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Artificial light at night could have widespread and detrimental impacts on sleep. To reduce disruptive effects of artificial light on sleep in humans, most smartphones and computers now have software that reduces blue light emissions at night.

Artificial light at night alters predation on colour-polymorphic camouflaged prey
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023 Artificial light at night (ALAN) disrupts biological processes across taxa and at all levels of organisation. Despite growing interest in this globally pervasive sensory pollutant, its impact on colour-guided processes remains largely unexplored. This is
