Effects of exposure to artificial lighting on orientation of hatchling sea turtles on the beach and in the ocean (2007, unknown): “Artificial night lighting degrades the visual environment at many nesting beaches and can disrupt the ability of hatchlings to either detect or respond to the cues required for an oriented crawl (Witherington & Martin 1996, Witherington 1997, Salmon 2003, Tuxbury & Salmon 2005).”
Behavioural responses to human‐induced environmental change (2011, background): “Sea turtle hatchlings (Caretta caretta and Chelonia mydas), for example, move towards human settlements instead of the ocean during nights when artificial lights are brighter than the horizon over the ocean (Tuxbury & Salmon, 2005).”
The ecological impacts of nighttime light pollution: a mechanistic appraisal (2013, background): “…1985; Witherington & Bjorndal, 1991; Peters & Verhoeven, 1994; Salmon et al., 1995; Le Corre et al., 2002; Jones & Francis, 2003; Black, 2005; Tuxbury & Salmon, 2005; Gauthreaux & Belser, 2006; Montevecchi, 2006; Evans et al., 2007b; Lorne & Salmon, 2007; Gehring, Kerlinger & Manville, 2009;…”
The nature, extent, and ecological implications of marine light pollution (2014, background): “…lit vessels at sea are common at night (Merkel 2010), whereas coastal lighting disorientates turtle hatchlings and prevents or delays them from locating the sea (Tuxbury and Salmon 2005), ultimately reducing the number of turtle nesting sites in artificially lit locations (Mazor et al. 2013).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “…many tadpoles have adaptations to cope with invertebrate predators and can cope physiologically with low concentrations of pesticides, when they are exposed to both, they show particularly ª 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 4 (2011) 367–387 379 poor survival (Relyea and Mills 2001; Rohr et al. 2006).”
