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 …

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 …

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 …

Beachfront artificial lighting can deter nesting sea turtles and disrupt the seaward orientation
of hatchlings following their emergence from the nest. We investigated the effects of variable …

The introduction of artificial light into wildlife habitats is a rapidly expanding aspect of global
change, which has many negative impacts on a wide range of taxa. In this experimental …

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 …

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

Artificial lighting disrupts the nocturnal orientation of sea turtle hatchlings as they crawl from
their nest to the ocean. Laboratory experiments in an arena were used to simultaneously …

Artificial light is increasingly being recognized as a globally-significant ecological threat, but
appropriate management has lagged behind that of other environmental pollutants …

Projeto TAMAR–IBAMA (the National Sea Turtle Conservation Program of Brazil) has been
working with sea turtles on a national scale since 1980 (Marcovaldi & Marcovaldi 1999) and …
