Tree Cover Mediates the Effect of Artificial Light on Urban Bats [PDF]
, 2019 With urban areas growing worldwide, so does artificial light at night (ALAN) which negatively affects many nocturnal animals, including bats. The response of bats to ALAN ranges from some opportunistic species taking advantage of insect aggregations ...

Artificial light at night reverses monthly foraging pattern under simulated moonlight [PDF]
, 2022 Mounting evidence shows that artificial light at night (ALAN) alters biological processes across levels of organization, from cells to communities. Yet, the combined impacts of ALAN and natural sources of night-time illumination remain little explored ...

Environmental Pollution, 2022 Artificial light at night (ALAN) alters circadian rhythms in animals and therefore can be a source of environmental stress affecting their physiology and behaviour. The impact of ALAN can be related to the increased light level, but also to the spectral composition of night lighting.

Sex-specific gene expression in the mosquito Culex pipiens f. molestus in response to artificial light at night [PDF]
, 2016 Background Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a typical feature of urban areas and most organisms living in urban or suburban habitats are exposed to low levels of ALAN.

Using novel methodologies to examine the impact of artificial light at night on the cortisol stress response in dispersing Atlantic salmon (Salmo salarL.) fry [PDF]
, 2015 Artificial light at night (ALAN) is gaining recognition as having an important anthropogenic impact on the environment, yet the behavioural and physiological impacts of this stressor are largely unknown.

Dim artificial light at night alters immediate early gene expression throughout the avian brain
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a pervasive pollutant that alters physiology and behavior. However, the underlying mechanisms triggering these alterations are unknown, as previous work shows that dim levels of ALAN may have a masking effect ...

Artificial Light at Night: A New Challenge in Microphytobenthos Research
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been recently recognized as a globally widespread anthropogenic disturbance, characterized by different intensities and spectra, as well as spatial and temporal variability.

Implications for the protection of nocturnal migrants [PDF]
, 2018 The replacement of conventional lighting with energy‐saving light emitting diodes (LED) is a worldwide trend, yet its consequences for animals and ecosystems are poorly understood.
