Long-term effects of chronic light pollution on seasonal functions of European blackbirds (turdus merula) [PDF]
, 2013 Light pollution is known to affect important biological functions of wild animals, including daily and annual cycles. However, knowledge about long-term effects of chronic exposure to artificial light at night is still very limited.

Behavioral responses of bioluminescent fireflies to artificial light at night
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Bioluminescent insects have been the subject of scientific interest and popular wonder for millennia. But in the 21st century, the fireflies, click beetles, and cave glow-worms that brighten our nights are threatened by an unprecedented competitor ...

Urban-like night illumination reduces melatonin release in European blackbirds (Turdus merula): implications of city life for biological time-keeping of songbirds [PDF]
, 2013 <p>Introduction: Artificial light-at-night is known to affect a broad array of behaviours and physiological processes. In urbanized bird species, light-at-night advances important biological rhythms such as daily cycles of activity/rest and timing

Remote Sensing, 2021 The global spread of artificial light is eroding the natural night-time environment. The estimation of the pattern and rate of growth of light pollution on multi-decadal scales has nonetheless proven challenging.

Variation of Individual Location Radiance in VIIRS DNB Monthly Composite Images
Remote Sensing, 2018 With the growing size and use of night light time series from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (DNB), it is important to understand the stability of the dataset. All satellites observe differences in pixel values during repeat

Streetlights Disrupt Night-Time Sleep in Urban Black Swans
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Artificial light at night could have widespread and detrimental impacts on sleep. To reduce disruptive effects of artificial light on sleep in humans, most smartphones and computers now have software that reduces blue light emissions at night.
