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 …

Although there is ample evidence for the generality of foraging and predation trade-offs in
aquatic systems, its application to terrestrial systems is less comprehensive. In this review …

Many animals regulate their activity over a 24-h sleep–wake cycle, concentrating their peak
periods of activity to coincide with the hours of daylight, darkness, or twilight, or using …

Apex predators can benefit ecosystems through top–down control of mesopredators and
herbivores. However, apex predators are often subject to lethal control aimed at minimizing …

Circadian (∼ 24 h) clock regulated biological rhythms have been identified in a wide range
of organisms from prokaryotic unicellular cyanobacteria to higher mammals. These rhythms …

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 …

Urban land and seascapes are increasingly exposed to artificial lighting at night (ALAN),
which is a significant source of light pollution. A broad range of ecological effects are …

The existence of a synthetic program of research on what was then termed the “nocturnal
problem” and that we might now call “nighttime ecology” was declared more than 70 years …

Most modern mammals, including strictly diurnal species, exhibit sensory adaptations to
nocturnal activity that are thought to be the result of a prolonged nocturnal phase or …

Crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous) and pampas foxes (Lycalopex gymnocercus) are very
similar in body size and food habits, with distributional ranges that overlap extensively in …
