Partial night lighting may reduce the physiological impact of artificial light at night on captive zebra finches [PDF]

Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) continues to increase at an unprecedented rate globally every year. ALAN can disrupt circadian rhythms and cause behavioural and physiological changes which may have knock on effects for health, yet we still ...

Balancing artificial light at night with turtle conservation? Coastal community engagement with light-glow reduction

, 2015
Artificial lighting is a significant threat to biodiversity. Although efforts to reduce lighting are crucial for species' conservation efforts, management is challenging because light at night is integral to modern society and light use is increasing ...

Contrasting effects of street light shapes and LED color temperatures on nocturnal insects and bats

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022
Street lights are important light sources that contribute to artificial light at night (ALAN). To date, ecological impacts of individual LED properties (color temperature, dimmability) have been studied, while interactions between light properties or ...

White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Artificial light at night (ALAN) pollution alters bat lunar chronobiology: insights from broad-scale long-term acoustic monitoring

Ecological Processes
Background The timing of behavior and habitat use of nocturnal animals can be influenced by the lunar cycle in nature. The prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) has been recognized as a source of environmental pollution.

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

The effect of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the characteristics of diapause of Aedes albopictus

Science of The Total Environment
Recently, the effect of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the physiology and behavior of insects has gradually attracted the attention of researchers and has become a new research topic. Aedes albopictus is an important vector that poses a great public health risk. Further studies on the diapause of Ae.

Barbara's Daughters: Women's Boxing and Social Memory in Britain

History, EarlyView.
Abstract A pioneer of post‐war boxing, Barbara Buttrick fought in fairgrounds and on music‐hall stages in Britain and France before making a career in the United States during the 1950s. She fought against practical obstacles, prejudice and discrimination to become the Women's World Flyweight and Bantamweight Champion in 1957. This article examines her
