Remote sensing of anthropogenic light has substantial potential to quantify light pollution
levels and understand its impact on a wide range of taxa. Currently, the use of space-borne …

Artificial lighting at night has becoming a new type of pollution posing an important
anthropogenic environmental pressure on organisms. The objective of this research was to …

Nesting sea turtles appear to avoid brightly lit beaches and often turn back to sea
prematurely when exposed to artificial light. Observations and experiments have noted that …

Artificial night lights pose a major threat to multiple species. However, this threat is often
disregarded in conservation management and action because it is difficult to quantify its …

Light pollution contributes to the degradation and reduction of habitat for wildlife. Nocturnally
nesting and hatching sea turtle species are particularly sensitive to artificial light near …

Globally significant numbers of marine turtles nest on Australian beaches; however, the
human population of Australia is also heavily concentrated around coastal areas. Coastal …

Coastal areas provide critical nesting habitat for marine turtles. Understanding how artificial
light might impact populations is key to guide management strategies. Here we assess the …

Artificial light at night poses a significant threat to multiple taxa across the globe. In coastal
regions, artificial lighting close to marine turtle nesting beaches is disruptive to their …

Context Numerous studies show that artificial light disrupts the sea-finding ability of marine
turtle hatchlings. Yet very little has been published regarding sea-finding for flatback turtles …

The spread of artificial night lighting is increasingly acknowledged as a major threat to
global biodiversity. Identifying and exploring the impacts of nightlight pollution upon species …
