🌙💡 Does light pollution go deeper than we think?
Our new study shows that LED light at night alters thyroid gland histology in Triturus newts, a key endocrine organ. Suggesting ALAN as a subtle endocrine disruptor, beyond known effects on melatonin and corticosterone

🌙 Teaser from our manuscript under consideration in the Biological Conservation Special Issue on Artificial Light at Night.
Great collection of cutting-edge work on how #ALAN reshapes organisms, ecosystems, and conservation thinking.
Fingers crossed and hope we’ll soon add our contribution

Main day at our conference Facial expression analysis revealed a 94% smile rate, not bad. Sounds like ENLIGHT lived up to its name.
Thank you all for being a part of it.
P.S. smiles were not produced by either AI or coercion. The guy in the middle with checkered shirt was excluded from analysis.

Excited to join the #UnderOneSky conference (Nov 7–8), organized by @darkskyintl.bsky.social to protect our natural night. 🌙
I’ll present findings from the ENLIGHT project on how #lightpollution affects amphibians, highlighting why preserving natural night conditions is vital for wildlife.

Last day #sebconference .Talk by Nedim Tüzün on effects of #lightpollution on Daphnia and it's parasite.
- flatworms decrease abundance of Daphnia under #ALAN,
- question that remains how can this reflect on food chain of urban freshwater ecosystem, already under anthropogenic pressure?

Second day #SEBconference. Effects of #alan on newts in short: The Good (natural dark), the Bad (warm light) and the Ugly (cool light).
Great chat with Nedim Tüzün about #lightpollution, what can we learn from Daphnia and amphibians.

- reduced reproductive outcome
- increased heart rate
- induced greater sensitivity to chemicals

We demonstrate that #ALAN exposure disrupts redox balance in amphibians. Both light pollution treatments (20 and 90 lux) changed antioxidant responses and induced higher oxidative damage in both tadpoles and juveniles. Juveniles seem to be more impacted by #lightpollution

We exposed larvae to three different night light conditions: natural darkness (control <0.3 lux), moderate ALAN (intensity of 20 lux) and high ALAN (intensity of 90 lux). We measured body size, developmental rate, and quantified #oxidativestress

Although #urbanization currently affects 88% of threatened amphibian species and is considered one of the primary drivers of their global decline, little attention has been given to the effect of #ALAN on 🐸. Here in we used European tree frog (Hyla arborea).
