Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 It is crucial for living organisms to be in synchrony with their environment and to anticipate circadian and annual changes. The circadian clock is responsible for entraining organisms’ activity to the day-night rhythmicity.

Cloud cover amplifies the sleep-suppressing effect of artificial light at night in geese [PDF]
, 2021 In modern society the night sky is lit up not only by the moon but also by artificial light devices. Both of these light sources can have a major impact on wildlife physiology and behaviour.

Effects of Low-Level Artificial Light at Night on Kentucky Bluegrass and an Introduced Herbivore
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Increasing evidence suggests that artificial light at night (ALAN) can negatively impact organisms. However, most studies examine the impacts of ALAN on a single species or under high levels of artificial light that are infrequent or unrealistic in urban

Are physiological oscillations physiological?
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Artificial light at night alters life history in a nocturnal orb-web spider [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing rapidly around the world. The potential physiological costs of this night lighting are often evident in life history shifts.

The influence of light on elasmobranch behavior and physiology: a review
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 In this review, we summarize the state of knowledge of the influence of light on the activity and physiology of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays, and sawfish). These are a diverse group with great economic and ecological importance.

The impact of streetlights on an aquatic invasive species: artificial light at night alters signal crayfish behaviour [PDF]
, 2016 Artificial light at night (ALAN) can significantly alter the behaviour, communication and orientation of animals, and will potentially interact with other stressors to affect biodiversity.

Establishing a Large-Scale Field Experiment to Assess the Effects of Artificial Light at Night on Species and Food Webs [PDF]
, 2015 Artificial light at night (ALAN) is one of the most obvious hallmarks of human presence in an ecosystem. The rapidly increasing use of artificial light has fundamentally transformed nightscapes throughout most of the globe, although little is known about
