Global artificial light masks biologically important light cycles of animals

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 4, May 2025.
We document the importance of low‐light conditions in 136 animal species and then translate the new world atlas of skyglow, which reports artificial night sky brightness, into estimates of anthropogenic illuminance (that is, artificial light reaching Earth's surface).

Marine artificial light at night: Implications and potential hazards for offshore songbird and bat movements in the Greater North Sea

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Human activity in the North Sea is intensifying, which amplifies the need to understand better the biological implications of human activities in the ecoregion. Here we aim to characterize the impacts of artificial light pollution at night (ALAN) on offshore migratory songbirds and bats and discuss the potential for scientifically informed ...

MISFITS, POWER, AND HISTORY: RETHINKING ABILITY THROUGH AN ANIMAL LENS

History and Theory, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 75-95, March 2025.
ABSTRACT In this article, we construct a critical history of “ability” by focusing on the specific case study of dark‐dwelling animals and the ways in which they have been understood over the course of modernity. Such creatures were frequently the subjects of assumptions and judgments about what they could and could not do.

Skyglow from ground-reflected radiation: model improvements

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT Light 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. However, ground-reflected radiation is pervasive in artificially lit urban environments and cannot be entirely avoided.

Skyglow facilitates prey detection in a crepuscular insectivore: Distant light sources create bright skies

Environmental Pollution
Light profoundly shapes ecosystems, influencing the behaviour and niche specialisation of many species. This is especially true for visual predators, particularly crepuscular and nocturnal animals, whose foraging depends on adequate illumination. Despite this, research on how animals perceive light sources and position themselves relative to these ...
