Ecological Consequences of Artificial Night Lighting [PDF]
The Condor, 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.

Health Effects of Disrupted Circadian Rhythms by Artificial Light at Night
Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2023 Life on Earth has adapted to the changing patterns of light and darkness caused by the Earth's rotation. Known as circadian rhythms, these 24 h biological rhythms are regulated through light exposure and coordinate a range of behaviors such as sleep-wake

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 ...
