Light Pollution: Should Efforts to Protect Wildlife Focus on Twilight?

AI simplified

Abstract

Typical levels of artificial light at night can suppress early-night activity and disrupt navigation cues in nocturnal arthropods.

  • Artificial light during the night affects the behavior of nocturnal arthropods.
  • Twilight is identified as a particularly sensitive period for these organisms.
  • The findings suggest a need for targeted lighting mitigation strategies.
