DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2019.02.008
Abstract: Nighttime lighting is one of the great conveniences of modernization; however, there is mounting evidence that inopportune light exposure can disrupt physiological and behavioral functions. Hospital patients may be particularly vulnerable to the consequences of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2020.07.004
Abstract: Studies in chickens suggest low intensity ambient lighting causes myopia. The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of low intensity ambient lighting (dim light) on normal refractive development in macaque monkeys. Seven… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/bne0000244
Abstract: Secreted in the evening and the night, melatonin suppresses activity of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, a brain pathway involved in reward processing. However, exposure to bright light diminishes—or even prevents—melatonin secretion. Thus, we hypothesized that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07420528.2022.2150554
Abstract: ABSTRACT Dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) is considered the most reliable circadian phase marker in humans. However, the methods to calculate it are diverse, which limits the comparability between studies. Given the key role of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blae109
Abstract: Human disturbance in cities leads to environmental changes, such as habitat fragmentation, raised ambient temperature, night lighting, and noise. Here, we examine the plastic response to artificial light at night (ALAN) of morphological and reproductive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvae036
Abstract: Many insects rely heavily on visual cues in foraging and other life activities. Mantids are insect predators that usually ambush prey. The sophisticated visual system of mantids allows them to spot, track, and strike at… read more here.
