Pervasiveness of Biological Impacts of Artificial Light at Night
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2021 Artificial light at night (ALAN) and its associated biological impacts have regularly been characterized as predominantly urban issues. Although far from trivial, this would imply that these impacts only affect ecosystems that are already heavily ...

Light at night as an environmental endocrine disruptor. [PDF]
Physiology & Behavior, 2017 Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are often consequences of human activity; however, the effects of EEDs are not limited to humans. A primary focus over the past ∼30years has been on chemical EEDs, but the repercussions of non-chemical EEDs, such

Effect of gestational exposure to dim light at night on the behavior of rat dams and offspring [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRecently, dim light at night (dLAN) has become nearly ubiquitous. Whereas nighttime light exposure is associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes, little is known about the effects of low-intensity light exposure at night during ...

Artificial light at night as a new threat to pollination
Nature, 2017 Pollinators are declining worldwide and this has raised concerns for a parallel decline in the essential pollination service they provide to both crops and wild plants. Anthropogenic drivers linked to this decline include habitat changes, intensive agriculture, pesticides, invasive alien species, spread of pathogens and climate change.

Outdoor light at night and neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia. [PDF]
GeroscienceAbstract There is growing interest about the relation between exposure to artificial light at night (LAN) and mental health. This study aims, for the first time, to explore the association between LAN exposure and neuropsychiatric symptoms in individuals with dementia, investigating its role as a potential ...
