Global disruption of coral broadcast spawning associated with artificial light at night

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
This global analysis reveals that artificial light from cities is associated with the disruption of synchronised egg release by corals. This situation could reduce coral reproductive health, hindering conservation efforts in the face of climate change ...

Towards Insect-Friendly Road Lighting—A Transdisciplinary Multi-Stakeholder Approach Involving Citizen Scientists

open access: yesInsects, 2021
(1) The project “Tatort Streetlight” implements an insect-friendly road light design in a four year before–after, control–impact (BACI) approach involving citizen scientists.

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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesRemote 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.

Pulsed artificial light at night alters moth flight behaviour. [PDF]

open access: yesBiol Lett
Vehicle headlights create pulsed artificial light at night (pALAN) that is unpredictable, intense and extends into previously dark areas. Nocturnal insects often have remarkable low-light vision, but their slow pupillary light responses may leave them ...

Artificial Light at Night and Breast Cancer

open access: yes, 2022
An increased risk of breast cancer has been associated with light at night (LAN). Several risk factors have been identified that play a crucial role in causing most cancers such as the consumption of alcohol and smoking, and low fruit and vegetable intake.

Artificial light at night: an underappreciated effect on phenology of deciduous woody plants

open access: yesPNAS Nexus, 2022

Artificial light impacts the mate success of female fireflies

open access: yesRoyal 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 ...

Does artificial light at night alter moth community composition? [PDF]

open access: yesPhilos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2023
Ecological studies investigating the effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) have primarily focused on single or a few species, and seldom on community-level dynamics.
