Light pollution disrupts sleep in free-living animals
Artificial lighting can alter individual behaviour, with often drastic and potentially negative
effects on biological rhythms, daily activity and reproduction. Whether this is caused by a …

Endocrine–circadian interactions in birds: implications when nights are no longer dark
Biological clocks are evolved time-keeping systems by which organisms rhythmically
coordinate physiology within the body, and align it with rhythms in their environment. Clocks …
