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.
