  1. Sep 5, 2023 · There is a well‐developed body of literature on the visual physiology, behaviour and ecology of many marine taxa, and a re‐evaluation of these data can help inform risks of light pollution to ...

  2. At night, the only light that diffuses underwater comes from the stars, the moon and bioluminescent organisms. Light pollution therefore alters the intensities, colours and frequencies to which aquatic organisms are usually exposed ,[3],[4]: (Figure 1). In addition, the life of many aquatic species is linked to light intensity.

  3. Sep 1, 2010 · The horizontal irradiance at the sea surface is an informative light pollution indicator to study Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) effects on marine biodiversity (e.g.: zooplankton diel vertical ...

  4. Light pollution is a sensory pollutant caused by humans (Falchi et al. 2016). This pollution often affects organism behaviour, predator-prey interactions, and ecosystem processes (Stone et al. 2015, Falchi et al. 2016, Pilcher et al. 2020). One of the main sources of light pollution is artificial light at night (ALAN) (Falchi et al. 2016).

  5. Aug 18, 2023 · As mounting evidence shows that artificial light at night affects microorganisms, plants, animals and humans, light pollution is increasingly recognized as a global concern and a threat to ...

  6. cial light pollution to interfere with the biology of the ocean has not been explored in any detail. There is little information on how light pollution affects those species, behaviors, and interactions that are informed by the intensity, spectra, and periodicity of natural nighttime light in marine ecosystems. Here, we provide an overview

  8. Abstract. The globally widespread adoption of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) began in the mid‐20th century. Yet, it is only in the last decade that a renewed research focus has emerged into its impacts on ecological and biological processes in the marine environment that are guided by natural intensities, moon phase, natural light and dark cycles and daily light spectra alterations.
