Combined light pollution and night warming as a novel threat to ecosystems

[en] Artificial light at night (ALAN) and night-time warming (NW) are a combined threat altering the night-time environment and the behaviour and physiology of organisms. Impacts on fitness and the nocturnal niche have knock-on effects for ecosystem structure and function. Understanding the way both stressors interact is critical for making ecological predictions.
