Historical Exposure to Artificial Light at Night Shapes <i>Daphnia</i> Responses: An Experiment Across an Urban-Rural Gradient. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly pervasive environmental stressor, yet its long‐term impacts on organisms are poorly understood. We used Daphnia pulicaria to investigate how historical exposure to ALAN influences life‐history and morphological responses when exposed to ALAN under laboratory conditions. The experiment spanned

Calibrating Nighttime Satellite Imagery with Red Photometer Networks
Remote Sensing, 2023 The data retrieved from satellite imagery and ground-based photometers are the two main sources of information on light pollution and are thus the two main tools for tackling the problem of artificial light pollution at night (ALAN). While satellite data

Effects of Low-Level Artificial Light at Night on Kentucky Bluegrass and an Introduced Herbivore
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Increasing evidence suggests that artificial light at night (ALAN) can negatively impact organisms. However, most studies examine the impacts of ALAN on a single species or under high levels of artificial light that are infrequent or unrealistic in urban

A standard format for measurements of skyglow [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractA standard format for recording skyglow measurements is needed to allow for effective data exchange. A proposal for such a format was discussed at the IAU Symposium.

A linear systems approach to protect the night sky: implications for current and future regulations [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The persistent increase of artificial light emissions is causing a progressive brightening of the night sky in most regions of the world. This process is a threat for the long-term sustainability of the scientific and educational activity of ground-based

Recovering the city street lighting fraction from skyglow measurements in a large-scale municipal dimming experiment [PDF]
, 2020 Anthropogenic skyglow dominates views of the natural night sky in most urban settings, and the associated emission of artificial light at night (ALAN) into the environment of cities involves a number of known and suspected negative externalities.

Casting a light on the shoreline: The influence of light pollution on intertidal settings
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Light pollution is becoming prevalent among other coastal stressors, particularly along intertidal habitats, arguably the most exposed to anthropogenic light sources.
