Balancing artificial light at night with turtle conservation? Coastal community engagement with light-glow reduction

, 2015
Artificial lighting is a significant threat to biodiversity. Although efforts to reduce lighting are crucial for species' conservation efforts, management is challenging because light at night is integral to modern society and light use is increasing ...

Artificial light at night affects biomass and community composition of freshwater primary producers [PDF]

, 2016
Artificial light at night is increasingly recognized as a contributor to environmental change at the global scale (Cinzano, Falchi & Elvidge, 2001) and a biodiversity threat (Hölker et al. 2010).

Life and Light at the Dead of Night

, 2020
The Polar Nigth as a unique beauty. The aurora borealis, the moonlight, the faint glow of the sun behind white mountains, and, not the least, the mysteries of the living creatures that we have found in the Polar Night – this, in addition to the many ...

Evidence That Reduced Air and Road Traffic Decreased Artificial Night-Time Skyglow during COVID-19 Lockdown in Berlin, Germany

Remote Sensing, 2020
Artificial skyglow, the brightening of the night sky by artificial light at night that is scattered back to Earth within the atmosphere, is detrimental to astronomical observations and has an impact on ecosystems as a form of light pollution.

Decade-Long Photometric Observations of Light Pollution and Cloud Effects on Night Sky Brightness in Hong Kong

Remote Sensing
This study examines how night sky brightness (NSB) in Hong Kong has evolved over the past decade. It combines recent datasets covering 2019–2023 with the earlier dataset analyzed in a previous study (2010–2013).

Light, Sleep and Performance in Diurnal Birds

Clocks & Sleep, 2021
Sleep has a multitude of benefits and is generally considered necessary for optimal performance. Disruption of sleep by extended photoperiods, moonlight and artificial light could therefore impair performance in humans and non-human animals alike.

Artificial light and nocturnal activity in gammarids [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Artificial light is gaining attention as a potential stressor to aquatic ecosystems. Artificial lights located near streams increase light levels experienced by stream invertebrates and we hypothesized light would depress night drift rates.
