Artificial Light at Night and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism JournalThe 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 ReportsArtificial 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 at night advances avian reproductive physiology [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Artificial light at night is a rapidly increasing phenomenon and it is presumed to have global implications. Light at night has been associated with health problems in humans as a consequence of altered biological rhythms. Effects on wild animals have been less investigated, but light at night has often been assumed to affect seasonal ...

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 ...

Impact of artificial light at night on obesity and overweight: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
BMC Public HealthBackground Global obesity rates are rising sharply, prompting interest in environmental drivers beyond diet and activity. Widespread artificial light at night disrupts circadian rhythms and metabolism.

Impacts of artificial light at night in marine ecosystems—A review
Global Change Biology, 2022 AbstractThe globally widespread adoption of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) began in the mid‐20th century. Yet, it is only in the last decade that a renewed research focus has emerged into its impacts on ecological and biological processes in the marine environment that are guided by natural intensities, moon phase, natural light and dark cycles and ...

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.

The effects of artificial light at night on spider brains. [PDF]
Biol LettArtificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly pervasive pollutant that alters animal behaviour and physiology, with cascading impacts on development and survival. Recent evidence links exposure to ALAN with neural damage, potentially due to its action on melatonin synthesis, a powerful antioxidant.
