Nighttime light (NTL) remote sensing data offer unique capabilities to characterize both the
extent and intensity of human activities and have been extensively used to understand …

Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

Light pollution is a global threat to biodiversity, especially migratory organisms, some of
which traverse hemispheric scales. Research on light pollution has grown significantly over …

Although cities are human-dominated systems, they provide habitat for many other species.
Because of the lack of long-term observation data, it is challenging to assess the impacts of …

As billions of nocturnal avian migrants traverse North America, twice a year they must
contend with landscape changes driven by natural and anthropogenic forces, including the …

Climate change induced phenological shifts in primary productivity result in trophic
mismatches for many organisms,,–, with broad implications for ecosystem structure and …

As the Anthropocene proceeds, the matrix in which remaining habitats are embedded is an
increasingly dominant component of altered landscapes. The matrix appears to have …

Anthropogenic pollution is increasingly pervasive throughout all ecosystems worldwide. In
recent years, negative consequences on many taxa, such as birds, have been observed. We …

Millions of nocturnally migrating birds die each year from collisions with built structures,
especially brightly illuminated buildings and communication towers. Reducing this source of …

The timing of avian migration has evolved to exploit critical seasonal resources, yet plasticity
within phenological responses may allow adjustments to interannual resource phenology …
