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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Artificial night lighting inhibits feeding in moths [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2017 One major, yet poorly studied, change in the environment is nocturnal light pollution, which strongly alters habitats of nocturnally active species. Artificial night lighting is often considered as driving force behind rapid moth population declines in severely illuminated countries. To understand these declines, the question remains whether artificial

Widespread influence of artificial light at night on ecosystem metabolism. [PDF]
Nat Clim ChangAbstract Artificial light pollution is increasing worldwide with pervasive effects on ecosystem structure and function, yet its influence on ecosystem metabolism remains largely unknown. Here we combine artificial light at night (ALAN) intensity metrics with eddy covariance observations across 86 sites in North ...

Variation of Individual Location Radiance in VIIRS DNB Monthly Composite Images
Remote Sensing, 2018 With the growing size and use of night light time series from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (DNB), it is important to understand the stability of the dataset. All satellites observe differences in pixel values during repeat

Journal of Imaging, 2019 Artificial skyglow, the fraction of artificial light at night that is emitted upwards from Earth and subsequently scattered back within the atmosphere, depends on atmospheric conditions but also on the ground albedo.

ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF ARTIFICIAL NIGHT LIGHTING [PDF]
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2007 Abstract The following critiques express the opinions of the individual evaluators regarding the strengths, weaknesses, and value of the books they review. As such, the appraisals are subjective assessments and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the editors or any official policy of the American Ornithologists' Union.
