A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals that artificial light at night significantly affects freshwater invertebrates and their ecosystems.

A new European research initiative, SAFELUX – The Light We Need, is set to transform how we light our roads at night - improving safety while reducing energy use and environmental impacts.

Nature Climate Change - The authors combine light intensity data with eddy covariance observations from 86 sites to show that artificial light at night increases ecosystem respiration and alters...

On 8 April 2024, a total solar eclipse disrupted light-dark cycles for North American birds during the lead-up to spring reproduction. Compiling more than 10,000 community observations and artificial ...

The current knowledge on the effects of light pollution on aquatic reptiles pertains mainly to the response of sea turtles to various intensities, wavelengths and photoperiods. Gaps in our knowledge ...
