Bioluminescent insects have been the subject of scientific interest and popular wonder for
millennia. But in the 21st century, the fireflies, click beetles, and cave glow-worms that …

The rapid spread of artificial light at night (ALAN) poses myriad problems for nocturnal
biodiversity. Bioluminescent taxa that communicate via glowing lures, warning signals, or …

The expansion of human activity into natural habitats often results in the introduction of
artificial light at night, which can disrupt local ecosystems. Recent advances in LED …

Fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) use self-generated chemical luminescence for sexual
communication and have a number of attributes that make them appropriate and unique …

Urbanization can radically disrupt natural ecosystems through alteration of the sensory
environment. Habitat disturbances are predicted to favor behaviorally flexible species …

Though a number of effects of artificial light pollution on behavior and physiology have been
described, there is little understanding of their consequences for the growth and distribution …

Simple Summary Nocturnal light pollution is a worldwide growing problem, threatening
nocturnal biodiversity. We studied the impact of streetlights on mating success of the female …

Sodium street lights, dominated by long wavelengths of light, are being replaced by broad‐
spectrum, white lights globally, in particular light‐emitting diodes (LED s). These white lights …
