Antagonistic effects of epibiota on chronic experimental Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) exposure in Cymodocea nodosa

Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) is an emerging anthropogenic stressor in coastal ecosystems, particularly in urbanised areas. ALAN can disrupt the natural diel cycles of light-sensitive foundation species, such as seagrasses, altering key physiological ...

Life and Light at the Dead of Night

, 2020
The Polar Nigth as a unique beauty. The aurora borealis, the moonlight, the faint glow of the sun behind white mountains, and, not the least, the mysteries of the living creatures that we have found in the Polar Night – this, in addition to the many ...

Assessing Light Pollution Exposure for the Most Important Sea Turtle Nesting Area in the Mediterranean Region

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is impacting sea turtle nesting around the globe by decreasing the nesting attempts, disorienting the sea turtle hatchlings while trying to find the sea, and disrupting hatchlings’ offshore migration. In the Mediterranean

Artificial light at night

Exposure to ALAN disrupts the circadian system in humans and has a negative impact on the body by increasing the risk of cancer, sleep problems and metabolic disorders.

Planning artificial light at night for pedestrian visualdiversity in public spaces

, 2022
This paper makes the case for pedestrian visualdiversity in planning artificial light at night in public spaces. A preliminary literature review showed that limited research and applications have been developed addressing and acknowledging pedestrian ...

Artificial light at night impacts night-time activity but not day-time behaviour in a diurnal coral reef fish

Basic and Applied Ecology
An important, yet overlooked form of anthropogenic pollution is sensory pollution, and one of the most pervasive forms of sensory pollution is artificial light at night (ALAN).

A low‐cost, highly flexible, open‐source setup design with digital LEDs for research on artificial light at night

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a global change factor of growing relevance, yet its impact on organisms remains poorly understood. Present studies point to rather negative impacts of ALAN on species and ecosystems.

Reduction of coastal lighting decreases seabird strandings.

PLoS ONE
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is negatively impacting numerous species of nocturnally active birds. Nocturnal positive phototaxis, the movement towards ALAN, is exhibited by many marine birds and can result in stranding on land. Seabird species facing

Impact of Excessive Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) on Species Diversity of Plants and Epigeic Insects

Polish Journal of Environmental Studies
This study examined the impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) emitted by a lit greenhouse complex in Poland on plant communities and surface-dwelling arthropods. The effects of ALAN were investigated at three different distances from the light source within agricultural ecosystems.
