Experimental study on the impact of continuous and dynamic artificial light at night on moths originating from different skyglow conditions

Biodiversity is negatively affected by light pollution, caused by artificial light at night (ALAN). Light-emitting diodes facilitate new lighting technologies to mediate the negative effects of ALAN, such as dynamic ALAN where light intensity can be adjusted to traffic density. Organisms living in highly light-polluted areas may show adaptations to mitigate the negative effects of ALAN. In a split-brood rearing experiment, larvae of two moth species (Ochropleura plecta and Agrotis exclamationis) originating from low-medium and high-medium skyglow populations were grown under either continuous ALAN, dynamic ALAN or control-dark conditions. We tested for ALAN effects on larval mortality, feeding behaviour, development and body mass, and whether effects depended on skyglow levels in the population of origin. Contrary to previous studies, we found either no or positive effects of ALAN on larval development, with similar or stronger effects of dynamic ALAN compared to continuous ALAN.

## Description of the data and file structure

The dataset \"EVdS et al-SciRep.xlsx\" contains data on larval development. Larvae of two moth species (*Agrotis exclamationis* and *Ochropleura plecta*) originating from regions with different skyglow levels were grown under either: control dark nights, continuous ALAN or dynamic ALAN. During their development, we monitored survival, development time, feeding behaviour, growth rate and body mass.

生物多样性会受到夜间人工光照（Artificial Light at Night，ALAN）引发的光污染的负面影响。发光二极管（Light-emitting Diodes，LED）推动了新型照明技术的发展，可用于缓解夜间人工光照带来的负面影响，例如可根据交通密度调节光照强度的动态夜间人工光照。栖息于高光污染区域的生物，可能演化出适应机制以减轻夜间人工光照带来的负面影响。本研究采用分巢饲养实验设计，将两种蛾类（Ochropleura plecta与Agrotis exclamationis）的幼虫——这些幼虫分别来自中低天光污染和中高光污染的种群——分别置于持续夜间人工光照、动态夜间人工光照以及黑暗对照环境中饲养。本研究探究了夜间人工光照对幼虫死亡率、取食行为、生长发育以及体质量的影响，并验证了该影响是否取决于其来源种群所处的天光污染水平。与既往研究结果相反，本研究发现夜间人工光照对幼虫发育要么无影响，要么产生正向影响，且动态夜间人工光照的效果与持续夜间人工光照相当甚至更强。针对A…… ，

## 数据与文件结构说明
数据集"EVdS et al-SciRep.xlsx"包含幼虫发育相关数据。本研究中的两种蛾类幼虫（*Agrotis exclamationis*与*Ochropleura plecta*）分别来自不同天光污染水平的区域，被置于黑暗对照夜间、持续夜间人工光照或动态夜间人工光照环境下饲养。在其发育过程中，研究人员监测了幼虫的存活率、发育时长、取食行为、生长速率与体质量。
