Altered photoperiod affects behaviour in a key fish grazer, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study is to address experimentally the immediate impacts of an alteration of the photoperiod, simulating an extreme artificial light pollution, on the behaviour and stress of a key grazer fish common in temperate coastal ecosystems in Europe, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada.

Daily vertical migrations of aquatic organisms and water transparency as indicators of the potential exposure of freshwater lakes to light pollution

Acta Biologica Sibirica
Light pollution, which disrupts the vital functions of organisms, including aquatic organisms, has become widespread in recent years. One of the main biological features of aquatic organisms is the presence of daily vertical migrations (DVM). However, as

Impact of light pollution on fishes: Mechanisms and ecological consequences

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) is of growing ecological concern. By altering natural light regimes, ALAN affects the behaviour, physiology and life‐history of organisms. While research has largely focused on terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems are increasingly exposed.

Night-time nestling provisioning in urban peregrine falcons [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Most bird species are diurnal, with visually guided foraging, and it is natural to assume that highly visual predators which intercept moving targets, such as the peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus, will be particularly constrained in their foraging ...

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

Scientific 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 ...

Consent, Trust, and Sexual Ethics

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT No one describes a passionate night using the language of consent. Partners in long‐term relationships rarely think of intimacy in terms of permission. If consent is absent precisely when things go well, why does it dominate sexual ethics? Critics have pressed this challenge but have failed to explain why consent is irrelevant rather than ...

Diel release timing is a critical determinant of reef fish survival in Post‐larval Capture, Culture, and Release

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Predation is a dominant force shaping survival of coral reef fishes. Synchronous, nocturnal settlement during low‐light, new moon periods may have developed as an adaptive response to intense predation during settlement. Post‐larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR), where juvenile fishes are released directly to the reef ...

Artificial light at night decreases the pupillary light response of dark‐adapted toads to bright light

, 2023
International audienceAbstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is expanding worldwide. Many physiological effects have been reported in animals, but we still know little about the consequences for the visual system.

Teaching Through Making: |xam and !xun Material Culture of the Bleek and Lloyd Collection

Museum Anthropology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Spring 2027.
ABSTRACT At Wits Art Museum (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa) is a small collection donated to the former Wits Museum of Ethnology by Percival Kirby in 1952. A note in the accession register ties the items into the context of the renowned ‘Bushman researches’ of Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd in Cape Town in the 1870s and ...
