Artificial light at night is gaining attention for its potential to alter ecosystems. Although terrestrial ecologists have observed that artificial may disrupt migrations, feeding, and other important ecological functions, we know comparatively little about the role might play in disrupting freshwater riparian We identify discuss four future research domains influence associated ecosystems, with an emphasis on running waters: (1) dispersal, (2) population genetics evolution, (3) ecosystem...
Summary There is a growing concern that artificial light might affect local insect populations and disrupt their dispersal across the landscape. In this study, we investigated experimentally effect of on flying insects in field, with an emphasis aquatic insects. We asked whether lights prevented ability to disperse landscape, process crucial colonising restored habitats. set up six, c . 3.5 m high downward facing high‐pressure sodium streetlights along permanently connected oxbow Spree River...
Summary Artificial lights have become an integral and welcome part of our urban peri‐urban environments. However, recent research has highlighted the potentially negative ecological consequences ubiquitous artificial light. In particular, insects, especially moths, are expected to be negatively impacted by presence lights. Previous with light traps shown a male‐biased attraction in moths. this study, we sought determine whether street could limit moth dispersal there was any sex bias More...
Summary Artificial light at night is prevalent in human‐dominated landscapes, and streams these landscapes can be expected to affected by artificial lights. We hypothesised that would reduce the activity of aquatic insects, resulting reduced drift rates, lower fish growth rates leaf litter decomposition rates. tested hypotheses installing street lights reaches four forested, natural coastal British Columbia each paired with a control reach. Cutthroat trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii ) are top...
Insects around the world are rapidly declining. Concerns over what this loss means for food security and ecological communities have compelled a growing number of researchers to search key drivers behind decline. Habitat loss, pesticide use, invasive species, climate change all likely played role, but we posit here that artificial light at night (ALAN) is another important — often overlooked bringer insect apocalypse. We first discuss history extent ALAN, then present evidence ALAN has led...
Artificial light is gaining attention as a potential stressor to aquatic ecosystems. lights located near streams increase levels experienced by stream invertebrates and we hypothesized would depress night drift rates. We also that the effect of on rates decrease over time acclimated new level course one month's exposure. These hypotheses were tested placing Gammarus spp. in eight, 75 m × 1 artificial flumes. One flume was exposed strong (416 lx) at night. This created gradient between 4.19...
For science communication to be effective, scientists must understand which sources of information their target audiences most frequently use and trust. We surveyed academic non-academic scientists, natural resource managers, policymakers, students, the general public about how they access, trust, communicate scientific information. found trust was related participant age group identity, but all groups had high levels personal experience colleagues. Academic journals were trusted source by...
Anthropogenic light at night (ALAN) has pervasive ecological effects on species, habitats, and ecosystems. Research into the impact of ALAN increased dramatically in past decade, however, we find (through a literature review 341 publications) troubling lack consistency conceptual organization measurement night-time related organismal responses. To address this, propose holistic framework that considers space, time, taxonomic uniqueness, physics light. Principally, suggest measurements should...
Abstract Life history events, from mating and voltinism to migration emergence, are governed by external historically predictable environmental factors. The ways humans have altered natural environments during the Anthropocene created myriad compounding changes these cues. Over past few decades, there has been an increased interest in control temperature exerts on life events as concern over climate change increased. However, is not only cue that altered. In stream ecosystems, flow light...

Artificial lights with different spectra do not alter detrimental attraction of young Chinook salmon and sockeye along lake shorelines. Lake Reserv Manage. 37:313–322.Artificial light at night (ALAN) is common in lakes developed shorelines, especially prevalent the nearshore areas where juvenile fishes, including salmonids, are present. One concern that fishes may be attracted to...
The inauguration of President Trump in the United States led to active restriction science communication from federal agencies, resulting creation many unofficial "alt" Twitter accounts maintain communication. Alt had followers (e.g., 15 > 100,000) and received a large amount media attention, making them ideal for better understanding how differences messaging can affect public engagement with on microblogging platforms. We analyzed tweets produced by alt corresponding official agency...
