Ecological Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 446-454, May 2023., 2023 The effects of artificial light at night and traffic noise on survival, growth and diapause of ground crickets were examined. Both effects influenced additively growth and diapause, and synergistically survival. Abstract Urbanization affects various biotic and abiotic conditions through the disturbance and modification of the environment by human ...
