Divergent responses of insectivorous bats and flying insects to experimental LED illumination of different spectra

Ecosphere
Artificial light at night poses a global threat to biodiversity and is increasing at a rate greater than any other pollutant. We conducted a field experiment to investigate the effects of short‐term nighttime illumination on nocturnal flying insects and ...

Artificial Light at Night Affects Microbiota and Growth in the Oyster Crassostrea gigas: Correlations with the Daily Rhythm Robustness

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Widespread in coastal environments, artificial light at night (ALAN) is suspected to disrupt organisms’ biological rhythms by altering natural light cycles and thus constitutes a growing threat to these ecosystems.

Artificial Light at Night Reduces the Surface Activity of Earthworms, Increases the Growth of a Cover Crop and Reduces Water Leaching

Land
Artificial light at night (ALAN), also known as light pollution, is a growing environmental problem worldwide. However, only a few studies have examined whether soil organisms that search for food at the surface at night can be affected by ALAN.

Artificial Light at Night and Phenotypic Evolution

Approximately 25% of land surfaces worldwide are exposed to artificial light at night (ALAN) or ecological light pollution. Animals exposed to ALAN often exhibit disruptions to their circadian rhythms, and nocturnal animals are particularly sensitive to ...

Behavioural rhythms of two amphipod species Marinogammarus marinus and Gammarus pulex under increasing levels of light at night.

PLoS ONE
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is proliferating at an alarming rate across the globe, particularly around aquatic habitats. Natural and predictable light cycles dictate much of an individual organism's life by acting as a major signal for their ...

Urban intra-night artificial light dynamics revealed by multi-platform synergistic observation with different overpass times

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
The hourly dynamics of artificial light at night (ALAN) mirror the intra-night urban human activity rhythm, yet remain a challenge due to the static, snapshot-based nature of traditional remote sensing. In this study, we utilized multi-temporal nighttime

The impact of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) on biodiversity: flora and fauna at Kebun Raya Bogor

Ecotourism and Environment Conservation
Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) poses significant ecological challenges by altering the natural light environment. Plants and animals have evolved to depend on natural light cycles for their physiological and behavioral processes. This study investigates the impact of ALAN on the biodiversity of flora and fauna at Kebun Raya Bogor (KRB), a
