Skyglow relieves a crepuscular bird from visual constraints on being active.
Science of The Total Environment, 2023 Artificial light at night significantly alters the predictability of the natural light cycles that most animals use as an essential Zeitgeber for daily activity. Direct light has well-documented local impacts on activity patterns of diurnal and nocturnal

Mapping the brightness and color of urban to rural skyglow with all-sky photometry [PDF]
Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2020 Artificial skyglow is a form of light pollution with wide ranging implications on the environment. The extent, intensity and color of skyglow depends on the artificial light sources and weather conditions. Skyglow can be best determined with ground based

Skyglow increases cyanobacteria abundance and organic matter cycling in lakes.
Water ResearchArtificial light propagating towards the night sky can be scattered back to Earth and reach ecosystems tens of kilometres away from the original light source. This phenomenon is known as artificial skyglow.

Corrigendum for “Skyglow extends into the world’s Key Biodiversity Areas” [PDF]
Animal Conservation, 2020 In Garrett et al. (2019), we reported the results of an analysis of the extent to which, at a global scale, Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) experienced skyglow and some of the factors associated with variation in this extent.

Skyglow from ground-reflected radiation: model improvements
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyLight from ground-based sources directed into the upper hemisphere can be partially controlled, for example, through suitable lamp shades or by reducing the number of luminaires and their lumen output.

Skyglow extends into the world's Key Biodiversity Areas
Animal Conservation, 2019 The proportion of the Earth's surface that experiences a naturally dark environment at night is rapidly declining with the introduction of artificial light.

Skyglow and especially direct streetlight pollution alter moth communities.
Environmental PollutionLight pollution caused by artificial light at night (ALAN) affects biodiversity worldwide and is still increasing. Species vary in their response to ALAN, but the impact on communities remains poorly understood.

One-year high-frequency environmental and behavioral data from ALAN experience in a French coastal area [PDF]
Scientific DataDespite the widespread exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) on coastal ecosystems, its effects are poorly studied, and data remain scarce compared to terrestrial ecosystems.

Skyglow changes over Tucson, Arizona, resulting from a municipal LED street lighting conversion [PDF]
Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2018 The transition from earlier lighting technologies to white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is a significant change in the use of artificial light at night. LEDs emit considerably more short-wavelength light into the environment than earlier technologies on ...
