Artificial light at night alters earthworm communities and soil aggregation

The global expansion of artificial light at night (ALAN) threatens many plants and animals. However, potentially important predicted impacts on earthworm communities, both directly (dALAN) and through plant‐mediated pathways (plant‐mediated ALAN), remain

Alleviate light pollution by recognizing urban night-time light control area based on computer vision techniques and remote sensing imagery

Ecological Indicators
Light pollution caused by unreasonable and excessive use of outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) has become one of the fastest growing and most urgent global environmental problems. Therefore, the International Dark-Sky Association advocated the more

Systemic effects of sunlight: 10‐year review of cardiovascular, infection and cancer outcomes

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 1618-1625, October 2026.
This review highlights the systemic effects of sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. While UV radiation exposure has known cutaneous risks including photoaging and skin cancer, evidence suggests potential associations with reduced all‐cause mortality, improved infectious disease outcomes and reduced blood pressure.

‘If You Don't Speak Up, It Will Eat You Up’: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Voice and Silence in a Multicultural Clinical Healthcare System

Nursing Inquiry, Volume 33, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite sustained efforts to promote speaking up in healthcare, improvements remain ephemeral. In diverse clinical learning and practice environments shaped by generational, cultural, professional and pedagogical plurality, speaking up operates as a situated social practice. Adopting an interpretive bricolage, we conducted a critical discourse

ALANizer: Design and validation of experimental lighting rig for studying artificial light at night in ecosystems

1 Abstract Over the past few centuries, human activity has introduced astoundingly bright light to the environment at a rapidly accelerating pace. Artificial light at night (ALAN) has detrimental effects on a wide range of organisms, including arthropods. To minimise impact, we must understand how different organisms are

Bright needs, dark desires: Public preferences and balancing the benefits of artificial light and natural darkness at night in Aotearoa New Zealand

People and Nature
While serving many useful functions, artificial light at night (ALAN) also leads to the erosion of natural darkness, and of the various benefits that exposure to darkness provides.

Artificial light at night and telomere shortening

, 2019
This data file contains information about telomere dynamics, body condition, and nitric oxide levels in great tit (Parus major) nestlings exposed to, and not exposed to, artificial light at night (ALAN). Relative telomere length (RTL) and body condition

Progress towards understanding the effects of artificial light on the transmission of vector-borne diseases

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a common form of light pollution worldwide, and the intensity, timing, duration, and wavelength of light exposure can affect biological rhythms, which can lead to metabolic, reproductive, and immune dysfunctions and ...

Illuminating the Arctic: Unveiling seabird responses to artificial light during polar darkness through citizen science and remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has global impacts on animals, often negative, yet its effects in polar regions remains largely underexplored. These regions experience prolonged darkness during the polar night, while human activity and artificial ...
