Dark Matters: The Effects of Artificial Lighting on Bats (2016, background): “Artificial light can affect niche partitioning by extending the activity of diurnal species, bringing them into inter-specific competition with nocturnal species (Longcore and Rich 2004; Rich and Longcore 2006).”
Attraction of petrels to artificial lights in the Canary Islands: effects of the moon phase and age class (2009, background): “Moreover, artificial lights can attract and disorientate birds (Verheijen 1981, Longcore & Rich 2004), particularly fledglings.”
Bright lights in the big cities: migratory birds’ exposure to artificial light (2019, background): “2017), presenting an ever- growing ecological threat to all nocturnally active animals (Longcore and Rich 2004; Guetté et al. 2018), particularly migrating birds.”
Mechanistic, ecological, and evolutionary consequences of artificial light at night for insects: review and prospective (2019, background): “In the first major review of the effects of ALAN on animals, Longcore & Rich (2004) mentioned only a few examples concerning insects, and these examples *Correspondence: Emmanuel Desouhant, UMR 5558, Laboratoire de Biom etrie et Biologie Evolutive, CNRS, Universit e Claude Bernard Lyon 1, F-69622…”
Green Light for Nocturnally Migrating Birds (2008, background): “…man) and plants did not evolve under these artificial conditions, nighttime lighting may have serious negative consequences for the ecosystem, which made Longcore and Rich (2004) coin the term “ecological light pollution,” after Verheijen (1985) had coined the term “photopollution” in 1985.”
Ecological connectivity research in urban areas (2015, background): “…British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology although much work has been done on the impacts of light and noise pollution on animal behaviour (e.g. Longcore & Rich 2004; Fuller, Warren & Gaston 2007) with implications for ecological connectivity research, our review returned no studies that…”
The ecological impacts of nighttime light pollution: a mechanistic appraisal (2013, background): “…sections on mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, fishes, invertebrates, plants), by different processes and/or levels of biological organization (Longcore & Rich, 2004 – with sections on behavioural and population ecology, community ecology, ecosystem effects; Longcore & Rich, 2006 – with…”
The effects of the illumination of buildings on house-dwelling bats and its conservation consequences (2007, background): “Light pollution resulting from the increasing illumination of the planet by mankind is having an increasing influence on wildlife (Longcore and Rich, 2004; Rich and Longcore, 2006).”
Where forest meets urbanization: foraging plasticity of aerial insectivorous bats in an anthropogenically altered environment (2010, background): “Few opportunistic animals possess the high degree of ecological and behavioral plasticity (Luniak 2004) necessary to exploit urban habitats (e.g., Longcore and Rich 2004; K. Jung and E. K. V. Kalko, pers. obs.).”
Seize the night: European Blackbirds (Turdus merula) extend their foraging activity under artificial illumination (2015, background): “However, this temporal or spatial shift in predator activity to exploit the night light niche may lead to changes of competitive communities and disruption of predator–prey interactions (Longcore and Rich 2004; Schwartz and Henderson 1991).”
Light Pollution, Circadian Photoreception, and Melatonin in Vertebrates (2019, background): “implications for flora, fauna [28], and human health [29], and the ecological consequences [30]”
The dark side of light at night: physiological, epidemiological, and ecological consequences (2007, background): “Female glowworms, for example, attract males with visual flashes that are less visible in lighted environments (reviewed in [80]).”
