An Urban Migraine: The Influence of Artificial Light at Night on Aquatic Primary Productivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
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.

Investigating the Combined Effect of Artificial Light at Night and Noise on Sleep Quality of High School Students

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Adolescents today are heavily exposed to ALAN from different sources, including cellular phones, personal computers, tablets, as well as other indoor and outdoor light sources, which affects the quality of their sleep. ABSTRACT Adolescents frequently use smartphones, smartwatches, personal computers, tablets, and other electronic devices during the day

Prolonged exposure to artificial light and carcinogenesis: A systematic review of oncostatic mechanisms associated with melatonin pathways

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
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.

Fitness consequences of chronic exposure to different light pollution wavelengths in nocturnal and diurnal rodents

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Use of artificial at night (ALAN) exposes the world to continuously increasing levels and distribution of light pollution. Our understanding of the adverse effects of ALAN is based mostly on observational or laboratory studies, and its effects are ...

Welcome to the Dark Side: Partial Nighttime Illumination Affects Night-and Daytime Foraging Behavior of a Small Mammal

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Differences in natural light conditions caused by changes in moonlight are known to affect perceived predation risk in many nocturnal prey species. As artificial light at night (ALAN) is steadily increasing in space and intensity, it has the potential to

Artificial light at night affects fish passage rates in two small-sized Cypriniformes fish [PDF]

open access: yes
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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
