The nighttime is undergoing unprecedented change across much of the world, with natural
light cycles altered by the introduction of artificial light emissions. Here we review the extent …

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 …

Anthropogenic light is ubiquitous in areas where humans are present and is showing a
progressive increase worldwide. This has far-reaching consequences for most species and …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is ever-present in modern society and has revolutionised our
lives. Along with its many benefits, ALAN can have adverse effects that are studied across …

Irregular or unnatural artificial light causes severe environmental stress on the survival and
health of organisms, which is rapidly becoming a widespread new type of environmental …

Context Artificial light at night (ALAN) provides an array of important benefits but might also
adversely affect humans and other living organisms. Yet, the existing reviews of …

The application of lighting technologies developed in the 20th century has increased the
brightness and changed the spectral composition of nocturnal night-time habitats and night …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is rapidly increasing and so is scientific interest in its ecological
and evolutionary consequences. In wild species, ALAN can modify and disrupt biological …

How the relative impacts of anthropogenic pressures on the natural environment vary
between different taxonomic groups, habitats, and geographic regions is increasingly well …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) disrupts natural light cycles, with biological impacts that span
from behaviour of individual organisms to ecosystem functions, and across bacteria, fungi …
