excessive grouping of artificial lights, frequently occurring in urban areas. Example: large parking lots (such as car dealerships) and areas around a sports stadium.
illumination of the night sky often associated with the artificial lights of cities and other urban areas
colliding with lighted towers, high rise buildings, turbans, and other structures; continuously flying near source of light until exhaustion and or death; steering off course and not reaching intended destination
attracted to light sources-waste energy ceiling light throughout the night; interference with mating and migration behaviors; increased susceptibility to predation
the presence of excessive bright light that causes discomfort and interferes with depth perception. Example: bright LED billboards on highways
decreased reproduction; reduced foraging for food; confusion and disorientation, increasing susceptibility to predators and other threats
decreased reproduction; difficulty in foraging for food; increased visibility to predators; impairment of night vision
excessive, misdirected, or intrusive artificial light
disorientation; decreased appetite and feeding behavior; reduced mating; increased susceptibility to predation and other threats
occurs when light spills into areas where it is not needed, wanted, or intended such as into neighbors windows
