Lutter contre la pollution lumineuse

VertigO, 2019
The degradation of darkness through the use of artificial light at night (ALAN) in and around human infrastructures is termed light pollution. This pollution is intrinsically related to urbanization and spills out from urban areas to affect rural areas ...

Adapting to Urban Heights: Multidimensional Gradients Drive Nest‐Selection Plasticity and Trade‐Offs in a Human‐Commensal Sparrow

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

Come to the dark side – citizen science in nighttime ecology

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Nocturnal ecology has hitherto led a shadowy existence in ecology, which traditionally focuses on diurnal species and functional relationships in the bright light of day. Yet nighttime hides exciting research insights and urgent conservation issues to be

Altered nocturnal vocal activity patterns in Tropical Kingbird Tyrannus melancholicus (Passeriformes: Tyrannidae) at a site with artificial lighting

Journal of Threatened Taxa
Artificial lighting at night (ALAN) modifies the vocal activity patterns of numerous birds. In this study, we evaluated the impact of ALAN on the vocal activity patterns of the Tropical Kingbird Tyrannus melancholicus on María Madre Island, located in ...

Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Artificial Light at Night (ALAN), a New Anthropogenic Pollutant

The simplest definition of light pollution (LP) is the presence of artificial light at night (ALAN) at inappropriate times, intensity, and inappropriate amounts and colors. All these parameters of anthropogenic light clearly indicate that the presence of ALAN can disrupt the proper functioning of not only humans but all organisms on Earth that have ...

Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.

Effects of artifical light at night (ALAN) on three benthic grazer species (Arbacia lixula, Paracentrotus lividus, Cerithium spp.) from the Adriatic Sea (June - August 2021)

, 2022
In laboratory experiments on field-collected animals (June-August 2021), we investigated the influence of three realistic artificial light at night (ALAN) regimes on food consumption rates and feeding rhythmicity in the sea urchins Arbacia lixula and ...

Moth traps shine a light on nocturnal parasitoid wasps: Snapshot assessment of UK diversity and distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biological datasets are biased towards well‐known, charismatic taxa, meaning that our understanding of biodiversity is incomplete. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are an ecologically important, yet often overlooked group of insects. We show that 5 months of sampling for parasitoid ‘bycatch’ at moth light traps operated by citizen scientists provides ...

Review on health effects of indoor and outdoor artificial light at night

环境与职业医学, 2023
A growing number of urban dwellers are being exposed to excessively bright artificial night light induced by the development of high-intensity, high-density cities around the world.
