A meta-analysis of biological impacts of artificial light at night

Dirk Sanders et al.

Summary: Exposure to artificial light at night has significant impacts on physiological measures, daily activity patterns, and life history traits of wild organisms. Particularly strong responses are observed in hormone levels, daily activity onset in diurnal species, and life history traits such as reproduction, predation, cognition, and seafinding. The broad and strong biological impacts underscore the need to limit outdoor artificial night-time lighting to minimize ecological impacts.
