DOI: 10.1007/s00442-024-05591-2
Abstract: Light availability and habitat complexity are two key drivers of community assembly. Urbanisation has been shown to affect both, with important consequences to ecological communities. On the intertidal, for instance, studies have shown that light… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41477-021-00904-2
Abstract: Photosynthesis is readily impaired by high light (HL) levels. Photosynthetic organisms have therefore evolved various mechanisms to cope with the problem. Here, we have dramatically enhanced the light tolerance of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis by adaptive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07420528.2023.2207647
Abstract: Intensive care units (ICUs) may disrupt sleep. Quantitative ICU studies of concurrent and continuous sound and light levels and timings remain sparse in part due to the lack of ICU equipment that monitors sound and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07420528.2025.2469885
Abstract: ABSTRACT The intensive care unit (ICU) environment is designed for the care of acutely ill patients, with lighting conditions reflecting the needs of the busy clinical setting. Earlier ICU studies suggested that daytime and nighttime… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsad077.0306
Abstract: Pediatric patients undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT) often experience extended hospitalizations. Inappropriate lighting during admissions is known to disrupt sleep and circadian health, which can result in worse health outcomes. This study aimed to describe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpw088
Abstract: Restoration using rainforest species in Australia and elsewhere has been limited to a small number of widely known species, mainly pioneer or early successional species, Using the presumed successional status as a guideline for species… read more here.

Learning to feed in the dark: how light level influences feeding in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2021.0320
Abstract: Nocturnal insects like moths are essential for pollination, providing resilience to the diurnal pollination networks. Moths use both vision and mechanosensation to locate the nectary opening in the flowers with their proboscis. However, increased light… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0035
Abstract: In nature, light is a key driver of animal behaviour and physiology. When studying captive or laboratory animals, researchers usually expose animals to a period of darkness, to mimic night. However, ‘darkness’ is often poorly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0317044
Abstract: Photosynthetic eukaryotic microalgae are key primary producers in the Antarctic sea ice environment. Anticipated changes in sea ice thickness and snow load due to climate change may cause substantial shifts in available light to these… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants10091783
Abstract: Plants allocate biomass to above- and below-ground organs in response to environmental conditions. While the broad patterns are well-understood, the mechanisms by which plants allocate new growth remain unclear. Modeling approaches to biomass allocation broadly… read more here.
