The present review draws together wide-ranging studies performed over the last decades
that catalogue the effects of artificial-light-at-night (ALAN) upon living species and their …

With growing human populations living along freshwater shores and marine coastlines,
aquatic ecosystems are experiencing rising levels of light pollution. Through its effects on …

Ecological studies investigating the effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) have primarily
focused on single or a few species, and seldom on community-level dynamics. As ALAN is a …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) alters the natural light dark patterns in ecosystems. ALAN can
have a suite of effects on community structure and is a driver of evolutionary processes that …

The continuously growing world population coupled with a trend towards urbanization,
associated development of human infrastructures and lowered lighting costs has led to an …

Artificial light at night (hereafter “ALAN”) affects 88% of the land area in Europe and almost
half of the land area in the USA, with even rural areas exposed to lights from agricultural and …

Human population growth and its associated effects on the environment contribute to the
rapid decrease of biodiversity worldwide. Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an anthropogenic …

Photoperiod is a major factor regulating biological rhythms in animals and plants. At low
latitudes, annual variation in daylength is low and species are expected to strongly rely on …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a pervasive pollutant that influences wildlife at both the
individual and community level. In this study, we tested the individual-level effects of ALAN …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is rapidly growing and expanding globally, posing threats to
ecological safety. Urban light pollution prevention and control are moving toward urban …
