Temporal organization of physiology is critical for human health. In the past, humans
experienced predictable periods of daily light and dark driven by the solar day, which …

The ecological impacts of nighttime light pollution have been a longstanding source of
concern, accentuated by realized and projected growth in electrical lighting. As human …

Most organisms display endogenously produced∼ 24-hour fluctuations in physiology and
behavior, termed circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are driven by a transcriptional …

For many individuals in industrialized nations, the widespread adoption of electric lighting
has dramatically affected the circadian organization of physiology and behavior. Although …

The importance of exercise for health and neurogenesis is becoming increasingly clear.
Wheel running is often used in the laboratory for triggering enhanced activity levels, despite …

Artificial lighting can alter individual behaviour, with often drastic and potentially negative
effects on biological rhythms, daily activity and reproduction. Whether this is caused by a …

Background Many local authorities in England and Wales have reduced street lighting at
night to save money and reduce carbon emissions. There is no evidence to date on whether …

Circadian rhythms have evolved in almost all organisms enabling them to anticipate
alternating changes in the environment. As a consequence, the circadian clock controls a …

Most studies in chronobiology focus on solar cycles (daily and annual). Moonlight and the
lunar cycle received considerably less attention by chronobiologists. An exception are …

The disruption of circadian rhythms by environmental conditions can induce alterations in
body homeostasis, from behavior to metabolism. The light: dark cycle is the most reliable …
