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.
Dec 22, 2020 · The survival, reproduction, physiology, and movement of marine fishes, corals, birds, turtles, and other invertebrates are affected by artificial light at night (ALAN). Corals, for example, align their spawning events to monthly and annual variations of lunar light intensity, and zooplankton, tropical corals, and temperate marine organisms may ...
Jul 27, 2020 · The potential for artificial light at night (ALAN) to reshape the ecology of marine habitats is increasingly recognised, and an emergent focus of research 1,2,3,4.Artificial light can be detected ...

Dec 13, 2021 · The impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) on marine ecosystems have emerged as a focus for ecological light pollution research in recent years, yet the global prevalence of ALAN in underwater marine ecosystems is unknown. We have derived a global atlas of ALAN throughout the marine water column that will accelerate our understanding of its sources and environmental impacts. At a depth of ...

Jun 4, 2021 · Marine ALAN affects cell processes, physiology, behaviours, recruitment, communities and entire ecosystems (Ayalon et al., 2020; Davies et al., 2015; Fobert et al., 2019; Navarro-Barranco & Hughes, 2015; O'Connor et al., 2019). The interdisciplinary nature of ALAN research, limitations in technology and complexities of researching most marine ecosystems present numerous challenges that ...
