Humans live in a 24-hour environment, in which light and darkness follow a diurnal pattern.
Our circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in the hypothalamus, is …

Light pollution is a global threat to biodiversity, especially migratory organisms, some of
which traverse hemispheric scales. Research on light pollution has grown significantly over …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is closely associated with modern societies and is rapidly
increasing worldwide. A dynamically growing body of literature shows that ALAN poses a …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing exponentially worldwide, accelerated by the
transition to new efficient lighting technologies. However, ALAN and resulting light pollution …

Light around twilight provides the primary entrainment signal for circadian rhythms. Here we
review the mechanisms and responses of the mouse and human circadian systems to light …

The use of artificial lighting to illuminate the night has provided substantial benefits to
humankind. It has also disrupted natural daily, seasonal, and lunar light cycles as …

This review paper is the first that summarizes many aspects of the ecological role of trees in
urban landscapes while considering their growth conditions. Research Highlights are:(i) …

The alternative use of electric energy by renewable energy to supply power for catalytic
oxidation of pollutants is a sustainable technology, requiring a competent catalyst to realize …

Circadian rhythms are essential for the survival of all organisms, enabling them to predict
daily changes in the environment and time their behaviour appropriately. The molecular …

International standard CIE S 026: 2018 provides lighting professionals and field researchers
in chronobiology with a method to characterize light exposures with respect to non-visual …
