Just do a Google Scholar search with the key words ‘light’, ‘pollution’, ‘animals’ and you’ll get a ton of academic papers on the subject.
More creative Boolean searching on the normal Google search to refine the results will give you other resources.

International Dark Sky Association would be your best bet as they will definitely be able to refer you to the right authority.
