Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light-emitting diode properties. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
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

AnimalTA: A highly flexible and easy‐to‐use program for tracking and analysing animal movement in different environments

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 1699-1707, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Computer programs for video tracking of animal movement are evolving increasingly efficient, using complex algorithms or artificial intelligence systems. Despite the consequent progress in this field, researchers still face some fundamental problems in the use of such programs. For example, the best‐performing programs are often uneasy to use,

Mauritia flexuosa fruit production increases with increasing palm height in the Peruvian Amazon

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 599-604, November 2022., 2022
Fruit number, size, and allometric relationships were evaluated in the Peruvian Amazon for Mauritia flexuosa, a socioeconomically important palm with conservation concerns due to destructive harvest. Significant relationships were found between total fruit number and both palm height and fruit volume. Taller palms experience more crown illumination and

Estimating canopy fuel load with hemispherical photographs: A rapid method for opportunistic fuel documentation with smartphones

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, Page 2101-2108, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Canopy fuel load (CFL) affects wildfire intensity and is a critical input for fire behaviour models; however, measuring CFL in the field is time‐consuming and costly. Until recently, hemispherical photographs have been unable to adequately describe canopy metrics in non‐diffuse light conditions.

Reducing the blue spectrum of artificial light at night minimises insect attraction in a tropical lowland forest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 247-259, March 2021., 2021
Over 15 000 insects (18 orders) were captured across three lamp types emitting different spectra of light in a Peruvian Amazon forest previously naïve to artificial illumination. White 3000 K LED lamps attracted far more insects (morphospecies and individuals), including groups containing important disease vectors, than yellow and amber‐filtered 3000 K
