Partial night lighting may reduce the physiological impact of artificial light at night on captive zebra finches. [PDF]

Front Physiol
Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) continues to increase at an unprecedented rate globally every year. ALAN can disrupt circadian rhythms and cause behavioural and physiological changes which may have knock on effects for health, yet we still ...

Locomotor activity of the Holarctic molluscs Radix auricularia (from Lake Baikal) in various light pollution conditions

Acta Biologica Sibirica, 2022
Light pollution is a modern environmental problem. The scale of light pollution is increasing yearly and is negatively affecting the functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Turning to the dark side: LED light at night alters the activity and species composition of a foraging bat assemblage in the northeastern United States

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a rapidly intensifying form of environmental degradation that can impact wildlife by altering light‐mediated physiological processes that control a broad range of behaviors.

Exposure to a nocturnal light pulse simultaneously and differentially affects stridulation and locomotion behaviors in crickets

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
It is crucial for living organisms to be in synchrony with their environment and to anticipate circadian and annual changes. The circadian clock is responsible for entraining organisms’ activity to the day-night rhythmicity.

Mapping the Melatonin Suppression, Star Light and Induced Photosynthesis Indices with the LANcube

Remote Sensing, 2020
Increased exposure to artificial light at night can affect human health including disruption of melatonin production and circadian rhythms which can extend to increased risks of hormonal cancers and other serious diseases.

Artificial light impacts the mate success of female fireflies

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Anthropogenic light pollution is a novel environmental disruption that affects the movement, foraging and mating behaviour of nocturnal animals. Most of these effects are sublethal, and their net impact on reproductive fitness and population persistence ...

Non-visual effects of light on human circadian physiology and neurobehavioral performance [PDF]

, 2015
Light is of crucial importance for human circadian rhythms. In fact, light exposure allows for resetting individual biological rhythms to the 24-h day.

Artificial light at night and risk of depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine
Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been increasingly recognized as a potential environmental risk factor for mental health issues. However, no meta-analyses have been conducted to summarize the findings.
