Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

Nighttime light (NTL) remote sensing data offer unique capabilities to characterize both the
extent and intensity of human activities and have been extensively used to understand …

Light pollution is a global threat to biodiversity, especially migratory organisms, some of
which traverse hemispheric scales. Research on light pollution has grown significantly over …

Nighttime light observations from remote sensing provide us with a timely and spatially
explicit measure of human activities, and therefore enable a host of applications such as …

Billions of nocturnally migrating birds move through increasingly photopolluted skies, relying
on cues for navigation and orientation that artificial light at night (ALAN) can impair …

Biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate, and monitoring is crucial for
understanding the causal drivers and assessing solutions. Most biodiversity monitoring data …

As billions of nocturnal avian migrants traverse North America, twice a year they must
contend with landscape changes driven by natural and anthropogenic forces, including the …

Urban habitats and landscapes are markedly different from nonurban “natural” habitats. The
major difference is the transformation of the land, from natural green areas to anthropogenic …

With many of the world's migratory bird populations in alarming decline, broad‐scale
assessments of responses to migratory hazards may prove crucial to successful …

Halting the global decline of migratory birds requires a better understanding of migration
ecology. Stopover sites are a crucial yet understudied aspect of bird conservation, mostly …
