The impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) spectral composition on key behavioral traits of a sandy beach isopod
How different colors of artificial light at night affect behavior in sandy beach isopods
AI simplified
Abstract
All artificial light at night (ALAN) sources examined disrupt isopod activity and feeding behavior.
- High-Pressure Sodium lamps and both warm and cool white LEDs were tested against natural light conditions.
- Cool white LEDs caused the most severe disruption to isopod activity and feeding, while warm LEDs had the least severe impact.
- Growth of the isopod Tylos spinulosus was only minimally affected by ALAN.
- Warm LEDs may be more suitable for mitigating the effects of ALAN on isopods.
