Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development).

Shedding light on the dark: Does artificial illumination affect mammal activity at waterholes in sub‐Saharan Africa?

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...
