An Urban Migraine: The Influence of Artificial Light at Night on Aquatic Primary Productivity [PDF]
Artificial light at night (ALAN), or unnatural lighting produced by anthropogenic sources, has drastically altered the nighttime environment and is anticipated to increase as urban populations grow and electricity expands into previously unlit areas. The

Effect of bulb type on moth trap catch and composition in UK gardens
We analyse 10 years of records Garden Moth Scheme (GMS) to estimate the effect of bulb and trap type on the number of moths caught by moth traps. We find that brighter, higher wattage bulbs collect the most moths. Heath traps catch fewer moths than Robinson or Skinner‐stye traps.

Exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN), particularly at blue wavelengths, disrupts circadian rhythms by suppressing melatonin, thereby increasing cancer susceptibility. This systematic review consolidates evidence linking prolonged ALAN exposure to an elevated risk of breast and prostate tumors.

Artificial light at night affects fish passage rates in two small-sized Cypriniformes fish [PDF]
An increasing presence of instream structures such as weirs, dams, culverts and reservoirs degrades habitats, fragments rivers and blocks fish movements worldwide. Longitudinal river movements are fundamental for many fish species and the most widespread

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a
