Impact of artificial light at night on diurnal plant-pollinator interactions

Nature Communications, 2021
There is growing recognition that artificial light at night has wide-ranging effects on plants and animals, including disruption of nocturnal pollination. Here, Giavi et al.

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.

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 decreases leaf herbivory in typical urban areas. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is exerting growing pressure on natural ecosystems, but its impact on biological interactions remains unclear. This study aimed to assess how ALAN influences leaf functional traits and herbivory in two prevalent street tree species (Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott and Fraxinus pennsylvanica) through field surveys ...

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.

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 ...

Marine artificial light at night: An empirical and technical guide [PDF]

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Abstract The increasing illumination of our world by artificial light at night (ALAN) has created a new field of global change research with impacts now being demonstrated across taxa, biological ranks and spatial scales.

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.

Artificial light at night: a global disruptor of the night-time environment

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 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 ...
