Light at night is a pervasive problem in our society; over 80% of the world's population
experiences significant light pollution. Exacerbating this issue is the reality that artificially lit …

Animals have evolved with natural patterns of light and darkness, such that light serves as
an important zeitgeber, allowing adaptive synchronization of behavior and physiology to …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been massively deployed worldwide and has become a
major environmental pressure for biodiversity, especially contributing to habitat loss and …

Abstract Changes to photoperiod (day length) occur in anticipation of seasonal
environmental changes, altering physiology and behavior to maximize fitness. In order for …

Simple Summary The Northern house mosquito transmits West Nile virus and survives the
winter by entering a state of dormancy called diapause. Light pollution has been shown to …

Indoor light environment has altered dramatically and exposure to light at night (LAN)
potential leads to the progression of cardiometabolic conditions. However, few studies have …

Circadian rhythms convergently evolved to allow for optimal synchronization of individuals'
physiological and behavioral processes with the Earth's 24-h periodic cycling of …

Shift work and artificial light at night disrupt the entrainment of endogenous circadian
rhythms in physiology and behavior to the day-night cycle. We hypothesized that exposure …

Nocturnal light pollution has been rapidly increasing during the last decades and even
though dim artificial light at night (ALAN) has been associated with metabolic diseases, its …

Pain behavior and the systems that mediate opioid analgesia and opioid reward processing
display circadian rhythms. Moreover, the pain system and opioid processing systems …
