Has anyone studied whether plants are affected by light pollution?
Yes, actually, and they 100% can be! This 2026 study, for example, focuses on Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) affecting White Dogwood and Common Beech trees. The authors found that ALAN significantly affects the trees’ light dependent phase of photosynthesis. The trees responded differently physicall, but both were negative. They also demonstrated that the effects are “dose” specific, or dependent on how much light exposure has occurred.
This study from 2025 also indicates that, in urban areas, light pollution is becoming a greater disruptor for growing seasonality than temperature is; which is HUGE considering how prevalent the urban heat island effect is. They found that these effects greatly lengthened the growing season and delaying the projected end dates. This is bad because it also disrupts the life cycles of everything reliant on the plant’s life cycles, such as parasites, feeding insects/animals etc. It can also even lower the amount of available water due to the plants requiring more water in prolonged growth seasons. These systems are dynamic and not in a vacuum.
In conclusion, light pollution and artificial light is a major environmental stressor that gets overlooked. Thank you for making this post to ask a very important question :)
Alvarado's Salamander (Bolitoglossa alvaradoi), family Plethodontidae, Costa Rica
This is one of the Bolitoglossine salamanders, often called Mushroom-tongued Salamanders or Arboreal Salamanders.

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.
they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.
their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.
longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years
toxic flesh
has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.
lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion
largest genome of any shark
eats everything including moose and polar bears
ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you
this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard
just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !
Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Hornet Moth (Sesia apiformis)
Also known as the Hornet Clearwing, the hornet moth is no hornet but a species of sesiid moth that is native to the British Isles, Germany, Holland, and Austria (it has also been introduced to North America). This species is quite similar to the Lunar Hornet Moth (S.bembeciformis) but is distinguished by its yellow head and shoulders and black collar. Like the lunar hornet moth S.apiformis will overwinter as a larvae once or twice and adults will fly from June to July and sometimes August. Adults are often seen on poplar trees as these are their larval food plant.

Didn’t see them here when searching so how about chitons? (Class Polyplacophora)
Learned about em just recently and I’m curious as to how many people know of/have seen them!
Great choice!
Have you seen a chiton (Class: Polyplacophora)?
I have now
Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl
I'm not sure
The species pictured are the lined chiton (found on the west coast of North America) and the blue green chiton (found on the coast of New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia). A neat fact about them is that several species have been found to exhibit homing behaviors, wherein they travel in search of food and then return to their home spot. There are many theories regarding how they do so, but the exact method is unknown.
