Abstract: Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an important driver of change in ecological environments of the 21th century. We investigated the impact on nocturnal insect abundance and bat activity of two LED light colors (warm-white… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The abundance of insects has been strongly decreasing over the last decades, at least in the temperate zones of North America and Europe. This decrease has generally been attributed to increased human activity, especially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118839
Abstract: Abstract Site-occupancy of bats in forested landscapes has been linked to vegetation clutter, but clutter alone may not sufficiently explain observed site-occupancy. Abundance of prey likely has a strong influence on habitat use in forest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/d41586-019-03241-9
Abstract: Data are mounting that document widespread insect losses. A long-term research project now provides the strongest evidence of this so far, and demonstrates the value of standardized monitoring programmes. Long-term standardized monitoring reveals the scale… read more here.
