Do Wild Great Tits Avoid Exposure to Light at Night? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Studies of wild populations have provided important insights into the effects of artificial light at night on organisms, populations and ecosystems. However, in most studies the exact amount of light at night individuals are exposed to remains unknown ...

Methods for Assessment and Monitoring of Light Pollution around Ecologically Sensitive Sites
Journal of Imaging, 2019 Since the introduction of electric lighting over a century ago, and particularly in the decades following the Second World War, indications of artificial light on the nighttime Earth as seen from Earth orbit have increased at a rate exceeding that of ...

Artificial light at night as a new threat to pollination
Nature, 2017 Pollinators are declining worldwide and this has raised concerns for a parallel decline in the essential pollination service they provide to both crops and wild plants. Anthropogenic drivers linked to this decline include habitat changes, intensive agriculture, pesticides, invasive alien species, spread of pathogens and climate change.
