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,

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

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 ...

Imaging and mapping the impact of clouds on skyglow with all-sky photometry [PDF]
, 2017 Artificial skyglow is constantly growing on a global scale, with potential ecological consequences ranging up to affecting biodiversity. To understand these consequences, worldwide mapping of skyglow for all weather conditions is urgently required.

Waddling on the Dark Side: Ambient Light Affects Attendance Behavior of Little Penguins [PDF]
, 2016 Visible light on Earth largely comes from the sun, including light reflected from the moon. Predation risk is strongly determined by light conditions, and some animals are nocturnal to reduce predation.

Artificial Light at Night and Cancer: Global Study
Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2016 Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been linked to increased risk of cancers in body sites like the breast and colorectum. However exposure of ALAN as an environmental risk factor and its relation to cancers in humans has never been studied in detail. Objective: To explore the association of ALAN with all forms of cancers in 158 countries.
