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.

See You at ENLIGHT 2025!
Together, we’ll share research, strategies, and inspiration to reduce light pollution and safeguard the beauty of our night skies.
📅 28–30 November | Novi Sad, Serbia

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?

Two posters on how #ALAN shapes predator prey interaction. More about on effects on interaction between parasitic faltworm and the water flea find out on Friday.

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.

First day at #sebconference and great talk about carry-over effects of #ALAN on fish by Maria Costa from CESAM - Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies. Artificial light:
- reduced reproductive outcome
- increased heart rate
- induced greater sensitivity to chemicals

See you next week in Antwerp at @sebiology.bsky.social conference. We will be presenting our results on effects of #ALAN on newts. There will be more awesome work on effects of #ligthpollution on fish and aquatic invertebrates. More in program 👇

Our preliminary results revealed that LED lights affect metabolic rate, development and body growth of crested newts larvae. #lightpollution #alan #ENLIGHT #amphibians

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

#ALAN accelerate development and body size, suggesting ability of artificial light to alter feeding behavior, activity rates and energy allocation
January 31, 2025 at 6:08 PM
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).

First year of ENLIGHT project is almost behind us. We completed experimental work on #ALAN effects on #crestednewts. We'll have soon first results.

After more than 4 months of developing under #ALAN we got first juveniles. Waiting for possible carry-over effects.
