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 ...

Large‐scale human celebrations increase global light pollution
People and Nature, 2023 Culturally dependent human social behaviours involving artificial light usage can potentially affect light pollution patterns and thereby impact the night‐time ecology in populated areas, although to date this has not been examined globally. By analysing

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.

Circadian Rhythms of Crawling and Swimming in the Nudibranch Mollusc Melibe leonina [PDF]
, 2014 Daily rhythms of activity driven by circadian clocks are expressed by many organisms, including molluscs. We initiated this study, with the nudibranch Melibe leonina, with four goals in mind: (1) determine which behaviors are expressed with a daily ...

Satellite measurements of artificial light at night: aerosol effects
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT The study of artificial light at night (ALAN) by satellite is very important for the analysis of new astronomical sites and for the long-term temporal evolution observation of the emission from the ground. The analysis of satellite data presents many advantages but also some critical points because of fluctuations in ...

Artificial light at night inhibits mating in a Geometrid moth
Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2015 Abstract Levels of artificial night lighting are increasing rapidly worldwide, subjecting nocturnal organisms to a major change in their environment. Many moth species are strongly attracted to sources of artificial night lighting, with potentially severe, yet poorly
