Ecological effects of artificial light at night on wild plants [PDF]
, 2016 PublishedSummary 1.Plants use light as a source of both energy and information. Plant physiological responses to light, and interactions between plants and animals (such as herbivory and pollination), have evolved under a more or less stable regime of ...

Illuminating the deleterious effects of light at night [PDF]
F1000 Medicine Reports, 2011 Technological advances, while providing many benefits, often create circumstances that differ from the conditions in which we evolved. With the wide-spread adoption of electrical lighting during the 20(th) century, humans became exposed to bright and unnatural light at night for the first time in their evolutionary history.

Imaging and mapping the impact of clouds on skyglow with all-sky photometry [PDF]
, 2017 Artificial skyglow is constantly growing on a global scale, with potential ecological consequences ranging up to affecting biodiversity. To understand these consequences, worldwide mapping of skyglow for all weather conditions is urgently required.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 It is crucial for living organisms to be in synchrony with their environment and to anticipate circadian and annual changes. The circadian clock is responsible for entraining organisms’ activity to the day-night rhythmicity.

Artificial light at night: a global disruptor of the night-time environment
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023 Light pollution is the alteration of the natural levels of darkness by an increased concentration of light particles in the night-time environment, resulting from human activity. Light pollution is profoundly changing the night-time environmental conditions across wide areas of the planet, and is a relevant stressor whose effects on life are being ...

Day-night differences in Cunene horse mackerel (Trachurus trecae) acoustic relative densities off Angola [PDF]
, 2010 The assessment and the management of the Cunene horse mackerel in Angola rely heavily on abundance estimates from hydroacoustic surveys. Acoustic data collected from 1994 to 1999 were analysed to quantify diurnal variation in relative acoustic densities ...

Mapping the Melatonin Suppression, Star Light and Induced Photosynthesis Indices with the LANcube
Remote Sensing, 2020 Increased exposure to artificial light at night can affect human health including disruption of melatonin production and circadian rhythms which can extend to increased risks of hormonal cancers and other serious diseases.
