If you use pesticides in your garden (or lawn or farm), you’ll probably want to know about their impact on non-target, beneficial invertebrates (including firefly larvae ✨💚) —> so check out this excellent mini-review by Rebecca Schmidt

My field of study is having a moment, y'all. We made the cover of Science Magazine. My inner 16-year-old, who read this same journal in his high school library three decades ago, is grinning from ear-to-ear at the moment. science.org/toc/science/38…

Dubai - what are you thinking? Beaches now illuminated dusk ‘til dawn to allow ‘night swimming’. This isn’t ‘night swimming’. This is destroying the natural night environment and taking with it the lives of countless wildlife. Why would anyone want to swim in an LED bath?

A study on the #firefly species & their habitats in the #Anamalai Tiger Reserve stresses the need to minimise the impact of artificial light on their communication & mating behaviours. It also calls for proactive conservation measures. The Hindu - Chennai thehindu.com/news/national/…

Congratulations to #WPY59's Behaviour: Invertebrates winner! Sriram Murali (India) combined fifty 19-second exposures to show the firefly flashes produced over 16 minutes near his hometown. The firefly flashes start at twilight before they pulse in unison. #WPY59

Congratulations and well done Sriram Murali on winning the Wildlife Photographer of the Year #WPY59!! Firefly congregation @ Anamalai Tiger Reserve was one of the most beautiful site to see.

I have a new paper that should be of interest to visual ecologists and #lightpollution folks. Building on previous work, I've compiled large databases that characterize the spectral sensitivity of terrestrial wildlife species. Free access here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S14… 1/
