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.
