Biologically important artificial light at night on the seafloor [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Accelerating coastal development is increasing the exposure of marine ecosystems to nighttime light pollution, but is anthropogenic light reaching the seafloor in sufficient quantities to have ecological impacts?

The effects of artificial light at night on spider brains. [PDF]
Biol LettArtificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly pervasive pollutant that alters animal behaviour and physiology, with cascading impacts on development and survival. Recent evidence links exposure to ALAN with neural damage, potentially due to its action on melatonin synthesis, a powerful antioxidant.

Light at night in older age is associated with obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
Sleep, 2022 Light at night (LAN) has been associated with negative health consequences and metabolic risk factors. Little is known about the prevalence of LAN in older adults in the U.S. and its association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.

Light at Night and Disrupted Circadian Rhythms Alter Physiology and Behavior.
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2021 Life on earth has evolved during the past several billion years under relatively bright days and dark nights. Virtually, all organisms on the planet display an internal representation of the solar days in the form of circadian rhythms driven by ...

Co-distribution of Light At Night (LAN) and COVID-19 incidence in the United States
BMC Public Health, 2021 Background Light at night (LAN) as a circadian disruption factor may affect the human immune system and consequently increase an individual’s susceptibility to the severity of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
