How does light shape the microbiome?
As with any complex system, the answer is impossible to reduce to a single tweet, blog post, or video.
Light is a signal from our environment that drives appetite and immunity. That's how it alters the microbiome.

The artificial lighting which lines the world’s coastlines could be having a significant impact on species that rely on the moon and stars to find food, new research @sos_bangor_uni & @PlymUni suggests.

Looks like an exciting day in @CurrentBiology for ALAN/light pollution community - skyglow effects celestial migration in intertidal animals. Congrats @Thomas_W_Davies & co-authors!
New research published today from the @NERC funded ALICE project in @CurrentBiology. Artificial skyglow impacts celestial migration in intertidal animals that use the moon as a compass. authors.elsevier.com/a/1bHH8…
An itch finally scratched!

Great to have this paper finally published from @LitCoasts at @PlymUni and @sos_bangor_uni. Another finding from the @NERC funded Artificial Light Impacts on Coastal Ecosystems (ALICE) project with implications for how we manage the ecological impacts of city lights.

New NERC-funded research by @LitCoasts shows that even very low levels of artificial light can have effects on coastal marine species that rely on the moon for migration and finding food.

#eALAN2020 is really a great conference, even in virtual mode.
The talks are very interesting and offer different points of view about the problem of #lightpollution
