Artificial light at night (ALAN) disrupts behavioural patterns of reef corals
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023 Increasing levels of Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) alter the natural diel cycles of organisms at global scale. ALAN constitutes a potential threat to the light-dependent functioning of symbiotic scleractinian corals, the habit-founders of warm, shallow water reefs.

Red Sea corals under Artificial Light Pollution at Night (ALAN) undergo oxidative stress and photosynthetic impairment [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2019 AbstractCoral reefs represent the most diverse marine ecosystem on the planet, yet they are undergoing an unprecedented decline due to a combination of increasing global and local stressors. Despite the wealth of research investigating these stressors, Artificial Light Pollution at Night (ALAN) or “ecological light pollution” represents an emerging ...

Environmental Pollution, 2021 Artificial light at night (ALAN) is considered one of the most pervasive forms of environmental pollution. It is an emerging threat to freshwater biodiversity and can influence ecologically important behaviours of fish. The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a critically endangered catadromous species that migrates downstream to the ocean to spawn in ...

Science of The Total EnvironmentRecently, the effect of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the physiology and behavior of insects has gradually attracted the attention of researchers and has become a new research topic. Aedes albopictus is an important vector that poses a great public health risk. Further studies on the diapause of Ae.

The effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the circadian biology of marine animals
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe 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 ...

Artificial Light at Night Consistently Impacts Avian Physiology and Behaviour: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Ecol LettArtificial light at night (ALAN) is a major anthropogenic pressure across the tree of life, and avian responses are highly variable in both direction and magnitude. We used a meta‐analytical approach to disentangle ALAN effects across avian functional traits underpinning physiology, behaviour and life‐histories, while accounting for inter‐ and ...

Remote Sensing, 2021 The global spread of artificial light is eroding the natural night-time environment. The estimation of the pattern and rate of growth of light pollution on multi-decadal scales has nonetheless proven challenging.

Behavioral responses of bioluminescent fireflies to artificial light at night
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Bioluminescent insects have been the subject of scientific interest and popular wonder for millennia. But in the 21st century, the fireflies, click beetles, and cave glow-worms that brighten our nights are threatened by an unprecedented competitor ...
