The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2025 Elsevier Inc. New research shows that typical levels of artificial light at night can simultaneously suppress early-night activity and disrupt navigation cues in nocturnal arthropods. These findings identify twilight as a disproportionately sensitive period, raising questions about how lighting mitigation strategies should be targeted.
