Impacts of artificial light at night on sleep: A review and prospectus [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2018
AbstractNatural cycles of light and darkness govern the timing of most aspects of animal behavior and physiology. Artificial light at night (ALAN)—a recent and pervasive form of pollution—can mask natural photoperiodic cues and interfere with biological rhythms. One such rhythm vulnerable to perturbation is the sleep–wake cycle.

The effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the circadian biology of marine animals

Frontiers in Marine Science
The effects of anthropogenic sources of light on the circadian biology of marine animals are largely unexplored at the molecular and cellular level. Given that light is a major driver of circadian rhythms at the behavioral, physiological, cellular, and ...

Association of Outdoor Artificial Light at Night With Mental Disorders and Sleep Patterns Among US Adolescents.

JAMA psychiatry, 2020
Importance Indoor nighttime light exposure influences sleep and circadian rhythms and is known to affect mood-associated brain circuits in animals. However, little is known about the association between levels of nighttime outdoor light and sleep and ...

Artificial light at night at environmental intensities disrupts daily rhythm of the oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) masks the natural light cycles and thus can disturb the synchronization of organisms' biological rhythms with their environment.

Ferroelectric Quantum Dots for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Computing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work has provided a protocol for fabricating retinomorphic phototransistors by integrating ferroelectric ligands with quantum dots. The resulting device combines ferroelectricity, optical responsiveness, and low‐power operation to enable adaptive signal amplification and high recognition accuracy under low‐light conditions, while supporting ...

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

Artificial light at night is a top predictor of bird migration stopover density

Nature Communications, 2023
As billions of nocturnal avian migrants traverse North America, twice a year they must contend with landscape changes driven by natural and anthropogenic forces, including the rapid growth of the artificial glow of the night sky.

Species sensitivities to artificial light at night: A phylogenetically controlled multilevel meta-analysis on melatonin suppression.

Ecology Letters
The rapid urbanization of our world has led to a surge in artificial lighting at night (ALAN), with profound effects on wildlife. Previous research on wildlife's melatonin, a crucial mechanistic indicator and mediator, has yielded inconclusive evidence ...

Artificial light at night causes conflicting behavioural and morphological defence responses in a marine isopod

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2023
Encroachment of artificial light at night (ALAN) into natural habitats is increasingly recognized as a major source of anthropogenic disturbance. Research focussed on variation in the intensity and spectrum of ALAN emissions has established physiological,
