Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]
, 2018 Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

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.

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.

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.

The dark side of street lighting: impacts on moths and evidence for the disruption of nocturnal pollen transport [PDF]
, 2017 Among drivers of environmental change, artificial light at night is relatively poorly understood, yet is increasing on a global scale. The community-level effects of existing street lights on moths and their biotic interactions have not previously been ...
