As part-night lighting by turning off streetlights in the middle of the night becomes more widespread among local authorities, three studies focusing on different species show that, often, turning off the lights for a few hours is not enough. Read more in The Conversation: ow.ly/V5yw50Z9LOk

How does street lighting impact wildlife and when should we turn off the lights?
For biodiversity, it’s not just about switching off street lighting, it’s about knowing when and where to turn the lights off.

Full pelage Ultra-Violet fluorescence occurs in both lesser horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus hipposideros (André, 1797) and Blasius's horseshoe bat R. blasii Peters, 1967.
Ultra-Violet (UV) fluorescence has been observed and reported in a wide range of living organisms from lower plants to mammals. In animals, its function has been attributed to a range of behaviours in...
