Biodiversity, a term now widely employed in science, policy, and wider society, has a
burgeoning associated literature. We synthesize aspects of this literature, focusing on …

Global movement patterns of migratory birds illustrate their fascinating physical and
physiological abilities to cross continents and oceans. During their voyages, most birds land …

The nighttime is undergoing unprecedented change across much of the world, with natural
light cycles altered by the introduction of artificial light emissions. Here we review the extent …

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 …

The present review draws together wide-ranging studies performed over the last decades
that catalogue the effects of artificial-light-at-night (ALAN) upon living species and their …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is closely associated with modern societies and is rapidly
increasing worldwide. A dynamically growing body of literature shows that ALAN poses a …

Anthropogenic light is ubiquitous in areas where humans are present and is showing a
progressive increase worldwide. This has far-reaching consequences for most species and …

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 …

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 …

Excessive or misdirected artificial light at night (ALAN) produces light pollution that
influences several aspects of the biology and ecology of birds, including disruption of …
