Impacts of artificial light on dispersal and migration
Artificial light at night has been increasing globally and could have immense impacts on nocturnal species, such as bats and migratory birds, for which artificial light could impede movement or even alter migration pathways. I am interested in spatial patterns of artificial light and how it impacts movement of dispersing and migrating animals at both local and global scales.
