Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) and Activity Patterns in Hyla Arborea Tadpoles: a Preliminary Study

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is human-made illumination that disrupts the natural day–night cycle. In amphibians, ALAN can suppress nocturnal melatonin and alter corticosterone regulation, affecting activity and risk-related behaviours.

The effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the circadian biology of marine animals

Frontiers in Marine Science
The 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 ...

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

, 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.

Maltese coastline never sleeps : the effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the local infralittoral assemblages — a case study [PDF]

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Aside from the most notorious threats, the Mediterranean Sea faces novel and poorly explored impacts from artificial light at night (ALAN), which influences natural light–dark cycles and affects marine ecosystems.

Mapping Lightscapes: Spatial Patterning of Artificial Lighting in an Urban Landscape [PDF]

, 2013
Artificial lighting is strongly associated with urbanisation and is increasing in its extent, brightness and spectral range. Changes in urban lighting have both positive and negative effects on city performance, yet little is known about how its ...

Artificial light pollution at night (ALAN) disrupts the distribution and circadian rhythm of a sandy beach isopod

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Coastal habitats, in particular sandy beaches, are becoming increasingly exposed to artificial light pollution at night (ALAN). Yet, only a few studies have this far assessed the effects of ALAN on the species inhabiting these ecosystems.

The impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) spectral composition on key behavioral traits of a sandy beach isopod

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a widespread human-induced disturbance, whose effects have been documented in many ecosystems. However, limited attention has been given to the source of the lights behind ALAN, so this study examined three of them ...

Impact of artificial light intensity on nocturnal insect diversity in urban and rural areas of the Asir province, Saudi Arabia.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Continuous urban developments have resulted in increased demand for street furniture, one of which is street light columns. Artificial light at night (ALAN) pose significant impacts on insect diversity in urban and rural areas.
