Does artificial light at night alter moth community composition? [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2023 Ecological studies investigating the effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) have primarily focused on single or a few species, and seldom on community-level dynamics. As ALAN is a potential cause of insect and biodiversity declines, community-level perspectives are essential.

Biologically important artificial light at night on the seafloor [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractAccelerating coastal development is increasing the exposure of marine ecosystems to nighttime light pollution, but is anthropogenic light reaching the seafloor in sufficient quantities to have ecological impacts? Using a combination of mapping, and radiative transfer modelling utilising in situ measurements of optical seawater properties, we ...

Artificial Light at Night Drives Earlier Singing in a Neotropical Bird
Animals, 2022 Anthropogenic noise and artificial light at night (ALAN) can disrupt the morning singing routines of urban birds, however, its influence on tropical species remains poorly explored.

Artificial light at night: a global disruptor of the night-time environment. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2023 Light pollution is the alteration of the natural levels of darkness by an increased concentration of light particles in the night-time environment, resulting from human activity. Light pollution is profoundly changing the night-time environmental conditions across wide areas of the planet, and is a relevant stressor whose effects on life are being ...

Artificial light at night affects plant–herbivore interactions
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2022 Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects species' physiology and behaviour, and the interactions between species. Despite the importance of plants as primary producers, it remains poorly understood whether and how effects of ALAN on plants cascade through the food web.

Environmental Impacts of Artificial Light at Night
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2022 The nighttime is undergoing unprecedented change across much of the world, with natural light cycles altered by the introduction of artificial light emissions. Here we review the extent and dynamics of artificial light at night (ALAN), the benefits that ALAN provides, the environmental costs ALAN creates, approaches to mitigating these negative ...

Pervasiveness of Biological Impacts of Artificial Light at Night
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2021 AbstractArtificial light at night (ALAN) and its associated biological impacts have regularly been characterized as predominantly urban issues. Although far from trivial, this would imply that these impacts only affect ecosystems that are already heavily modified by humans and are relatively limited in their spatial extent, at least as compared with ...

Pulsed artificial light at night alters moth flight behaviour. [PDF]
Biol LettVehicle headlights create pulsed artificial light at night (pALAN) that is unpredictable, intense and extends into previously dark areas. Nocturnal insects often have remarkable low-light vision, but their slow pupillary light responses may leave them vulnerable to pALAN, which has important ecological consequences.
