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.

Beyond All-Sky: Assessing Ecological Light Pollution Using Multi-Spectral Full-Sphere Fisheye Lens Imaging

Journal of Imaging, 2019
Artificial light at night is a novel anthropogenic stressor. The resulting ecological light pollution affects a wide breadth of biological systems on many spatio-temporal scales, from individual organisms to communities and ecosystems.

Transient anhedonia phenotype and altered circadian timing of behaviour during night-time dim light exposure in Per3(-/-) mice, but not wildtype mice. [PDF]

, 2017
Industrialisation greatly increased human night-time exposure to artificial light, which in animal models is a known cause of depressive phenotypes.

The effect of cave illumination on bats [PDF]

, 2020
Artificial light at night has large impacts on nocturnal wildlife such as bats, yet its effect varies with wavelength of light, context, and across species involved.

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

A light-exploiting insectivorous bat shows no melatonin disruption under lights with different spectra

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Natural light-dark cycles synchronize an animal's internal clock with environmental conditions. The introduction of artificial light into the night-time environment masks natural light cues and has the potential to disrupt this well-established ...

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

Advances in research on relationship between indoor artificial light at night and human health

环境与职业医学
With the acceleration of global urbanization, the intensity and coverage of artificial light at night (ALAN) are increasing, and its service duration is obviously prolonged.
