Artificial light at night causes reproductive failure in clownfish [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2019
The Earth is getting brighter at night, as artificial light at night (ALAN) continues to increase and extend its reach. Despite recent recognition of the damaging impacts of ALAN on terrestrial ecosystems, research on ALAN in marine systems is comparatively lacking.

Effects of street lighting technologies on the success and quality of pollination in a nocturnally pollinated plant

Ecosphere, 2019
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly important driver of global change. Lighting directly affects plants, but few studies have investigated indirect effects mediated by interacting organisms.

Emergent Spinning and Orbital Motion in Clustered Wind‐Assisted Flyers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural snowflake geometries, paper‐cut flyers exhibit geometry‐defined spinning and orbital motions during cluster formation in a wind tunnel. Collective flights of multiple paperflakes reveal dynamic clustering, fragmentation, and continuously evolving spin behaviors.

How ecological communities respond to artificial light at night [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2018
AbstractMany ecosystems worldwide are exposed to artificial light at night (ALAN), from streetlights and other sources, and a wide range of organisms has been shown to respond to this anthropogenic pressure. This raises concerns about the consequences for major ecosystem functions and their stability.

A Dual‐Modal Wearable PPG Smartwatch with AI‐Enhanced Correction for High‐Accuracy and Continuous AF Burden Assessment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, yet accurate quantification of AF burden in daily life remains difficult. Although smartwatch photoplethysmography (PPG) supports continuous monitoring, complex rhythms and signal noise can impair burden estimation.

Evading the blues: Nocturnally active adult Leach's Storm‐Petrels show evidence of avoiding LED lights with shorter wavelengths

Conservation Science and Practice
Nocturnal seabirds, particularly Procellariiforms, are vulnerable to being negatively impacted by artificial lights as they are prone to encounter various forms of light pollution in coastal and pelagic habitats, leading to strandings or other changes to

Artificial Light at Night: A New Challenge in Microphytobenthos Research

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been recently recognized as a globally widespread anthropogenic disturbance, characterized by different intensities and spectra, as well as spatial and temporal variability.

Experience‐Dependent Reorganization of Hippocampal CA3 Neuronal Ensembles Associates With Memory Generalization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mice can transfer the learned rule of spatial working memory to guide similar but novel tasks. Hippocampal CA3 populational activity dynamically reorganize during memory generalization, shifting from task‐specific to generalized coding over testing days. Sparse yet redundant neural representations of CA3 enable rule transfer and cognitive map formation,

Artificial light at night (ALAN) pollution alters bat lunar chronobiology: insights from broad-scale long-term acoustic monitoring

Ecological Processes
Background The timing of behavior and habitat use of nocturnal animals can be influenced by the lunar cycle in nature. The prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) has been recognized as a source of environmental pollution.
