Impacts of bat use of anthropogenic structures on bats and humans
Abstract Human‐induced landscape modifications and climate change are forcing wildlife into closer contact with humans as the availability of natural habitats decreases. Although the importance of anthropogenic structures for the conservation of species is widely recognized, negative narratives surrounding bats may impede conservation efforts in human ...

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light‐emitting diode properties
Abstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

We applied factorial soil warming and moisture reduction treatments directly in the field in the Australian subalpine to assess changes to surface‐active soil arthropod abundance, diversity and community composition. After identifying nearly 50,000 specimens to order, we found a stronger effect of sampling month than treatment.

Solar parks provide heterogeneous habitats for winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods
Forest provides stable temperature and high humidity, harbouring mainly forest‐associated winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods. Grassland and abandoned farmland experience extreme temperatures, favouring mainly dry‐habitat winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods.
