Partial night lighting may reduce the physiological impact of artificial light at night on captive zebra finches
Our findings suggest that partial night lighting may mitigate some of ALAN's negative impacts on wildlife health. This approach could be a valuable tool in future strategies to reduce the ecological effects of light pollution in urban environments and should be investigated further.
