Artificial light at night alters trophic interactions of intertidal invertebrates [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 SummaryDespite being globally widespread in coastal regions, the impacts of light pollution on intertidal ecosystems has received little attention. Intertidal species exhibit many night‐time‐dependent ecological strategies, including feeding, reproduction, orientation and predator avoidance, which are likely negatively affected by shifting light ...

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 ...

Impacts of artificial light at night in marine ecosystems—A review
Global Change Biology, 2022 AbstractThe globally widespread adoption of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) began in the mid‐20th century. Yet, it is only in the last decade that a renewed research focus has emerged into its impacts on ecological and biological processes in the marine environment that are guided by natural intensities, moon phase, natural light and dark cycles and ...

Contrasting trends in light pollution across Europe based on satellite observed night time lights. [PDF]
, 2016 Since the 1970s nighttime satellite images of the Earth from space have provided a striking illustration of the extent of artificial light. Meanwhile, growing awareness of adverse impacts of artificial light at night on scientific astronomy, human health,

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 ...

Evaluating the summer night sky brightness at a research field site on Lake Stechlin in northeastern Germany [PDF]
, 2016 We report on luminance measurements of the summer night sky at a field site on a freshwater lake in northeastern Germany (Lake Stechlin) to evaluate the amount of artificial skyglow from nearby and distant towns in the context of a planned study on light
