Switching LPS to LED Streetlight May Dramatically Reduce Activity and Foraging of Bats

Diversity, 2020
Artificial light at night is considered a major threat to biodiversity, especially for nocturnal species, as it reduces habitat availability, quality, and functionality.

Delineating urban, suburban and rural areas using Landsat and DMSP-OLS night-time images Case Study of Hyderabad, India [PDF]

, 2011
The number and size of urban settlements are increasing in all the continents of the world at a rapid pace. Urban sprawl is associated not only with changes in landcover and area, but also ecological, climate and social transformations.

Artificial light at night (ALAN) pollution alters bat lunar chronobiology: insights from broad-scale long-term acoustic monitoring

Ecological Processes
Background The timing of behavior and habitat use of nocturnal animals can be influenced by the lunar cycle in nature. The prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) has been recognized as a source of environmental pollution.

Does outdoor light contribute to ovarian cancer mortality? Insights from a case-control study

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Unfavorable light environments, including artificial light at night (ALAN) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, may be linked to ovarian cancer, but this association remains uncertain.

Effects of street lighting technologies on the success and quality of pollination in a nocturnally pollinated plant

Ecosphere, 2019
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly important driver of global change. Lighting directly affects plants, but few studies have investigated indirect effects mediated by interacting organisms.

Advances in research on relationship between indoor artificial light at night and human health

环境与职业医学
With the acceleration of global urbanization, the intensity and coverage of artificial light at night (ALAN) are increasing, and its service duration is obviously prolonged.

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
