Summary
This paper discusses the adverse effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the fitness of nocturnal and diurnal species, focusing on two species of rodents, and finds that ALAN exposure can lead to reduced survival rates and reproductive success.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the effects of different wavelengths of artificial light at night on the survival and reproduction of two species of rodents, suggesting that lighting design can have significant impacts on wildlife.
Hormone regulation: The paper examines the impact of artificial light at night on cortisol levels in the rodents, indicating that light exposure can influence hormone regulation.
Well-being: The paper's findings on the negative effects of artificial light at night on the survival and reproduction of the rodents suggest that light pollution can have adverse effects on the well-being of wildlife.
