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.

Effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on alpine stream periphyton: a flume simulation

, 2016
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is one of the most widespread human-induced alterations of the landscape, it is increasingly recognized as a contributor to environmental change and a threat to biodiversity at the global scale. Increasing research efforts have demonstrated numerous adverse effects on aquatic and terrestrial animals, microorganisms and ...

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 ...

Longing for the light: darkness, dislocation and spaces of exile [PDF]

, 2012
There have been many studies of light and this paper acknowledges all of the scholarship that goes before, however, this is not a study of light but a study of how light defines perceived identity and how our relationship to it in turn defines our own ...

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 during pregnancy: A systematic review of chronodisruption, placental bioenergetics, and neonatal outcomes in the era of urbanization and digital exposure

Journal of Integrative Medicine and Research
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has become an increasingly prevalent environmental exposure due to urban expansion, widespread LED lighting, and digital screen usage. During pregnancy, ALAN may suppress maternal melatonin secretion and disrupt circadian

Persistent exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) accelerates metamorphosis and colonization in larvae of marine shellfish

Ecological Indicators
The ongoing course of urbanization has led to excessive use of artificial light at night (ALAN), which has rapidly become an important source of pollution in many cities. The Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) Larvae were kept under a 12/12 h light/dark photoperiod (DD) in order to determine the effects of ALAN on embryonic development.
