The effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the gaping activity and feeding of mussels

bioRxiv, 2023
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is one of the most widespread forms of environmental pollution. Studies on terrestrial organisms have shown that the effects of ALAN can be pervasive, and importantly, can depend on the colour (i.e., wavelength) of light.

Paternal Circadian Disruption Impairs Offspring Cognition via Sperm microRNAs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Paternal circadian disruption remodels the sperm small RNA payload, elevating miR‐92a‐3p/miR‐25‐3p levels and perturbing early embryonic gene regulatory programs. Microinjection experiments and single‐embryo transcriptomics reveal sex‐specific developmental vulnerabilities, ultimately impairing offspring hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition ...

Artificial light at night suppresses the day-night cardiovascular variability: evidence from humans and rats

Pflügers Archiv: European Journal of Physiology
Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects most of the population. Through the retinohypothalamic tract, ALAN modulates the activity of the central circadian oscillator and, consequently, various physiological systems, including the cardiovascular one.

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.

Exposure to artificial light at night mediates the locomotion activity and oviposition capacity of Dastarcus helophoroides (Fairmaire)

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Light entrains the endogenous circadian clocks of organisms to synchronize their behavioral and physiological rhythms with the natural photoperiod. The presence of artificial light at night disrupts these photoperiodic cues and is currently considered to

Artificial light at night causes reproductive failure in clownfish [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2019
The Earth is getting brighter at night, as artificial light at night (ALAN) continues to increase and extend its reach. Despite recent recognition of the damaging impacts of ALAN on terrestrial ecosystems, research on ALAN in marine systems is comparatively lacking.

When Night Becomes Day: Artificial Light at Night Alters Insect Behavior under Semi-Natural Conditions

bioRxiv
Light is the most important Zeitgeber for temporal synchronization in nature. Artificial light at night (ALAN) disrupts the natural light-dark rhythmicity and thus negatively affects animal behavior.

The impacts of artificial light at night on the ecology of temperate and tropical reefs

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2023
Despite 22% of the world's coastal regions experiencing some degree of light pollution, and biologically important artificial light at night (ALAN) reaching large portions of the seafloor (greater than 75%) near coastal developments, the impacts of ALAN ...

Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Gas Sensors: From Sensing Mechanisms to Biomedical Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...

Artificial light at night decreases plant diversity and performance in experimental grassland communities

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2023
Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects many areas of the world and is increasing globally. To date, there has been limited and inconsistent evidence regarding the consequences of ALAN for plant communities, as well as for the fitness of their ...
