BellingenNSW<p>Traffic on beaches<br>It's the Wild West - turning beach ecology into a Woolies car park</p><p>Off-road vehicles are allowed to cause "serious ecological harm" to beaches, dunes and estuaries ecosystems. Vehicles traffic is causing "unequivocal serious and widespread damage" to coastal dune ecosystems. "All of the species had suffered negative effects caused by off-road vehicles. The four-by-fours running over them basically crush them to death."</p><p>"Professor Schlacher said the Noosa North Shore, Rainbow Beach, K'gari and Bribie Island were among the car-accessible beaches that were being "pummelled to death"". On Bribie Island "there can be 1,200 vehicles on the beach in one day, and that's ridiculous.

Where are you? Way up here! In the tree! So goes the song of the Red-eyed Vireo, heard in nearly every forested area between Kittery and Fort Kent from May until early autumn. True neotropical migrants, Red-eyed Vireos spend the nonbreeding season in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmazonBasin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonBasin</span></a>, especially in Colombia, Brasil, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. Most depart South America during April, and over the course of a few weeks or a month, make their way up through Central America and the southeastern US, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/migrating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>migrating</span></a> on clear nights and refueling during the day by feasting on the abundance of newly-emerged insects. The first males can reach Maine by the first week of May, but the majority arrive in the second and third weeks, just in time for the emergence of leaves and insects in the canopy of our forests.</p><p>"These canopy-dwellers are heard far more often than they are seen, and possess a huge vocal repertoire, combining various “syllables” into “phrases” that don’t repeat. In fact, there is often no similarity between the songs of males whose territories are right next to each other. While the males generally sing from treetops, Red-eyed Vireos forage and nest in the mid- and understory, and require forest habitat with layers of native shrubs and small trees. Their nests are usually built at these lower levels, with layers of foliage above to hide the nest from predators. They raise their young on insects, especially caterpillars and other larvae, before eating increasing amounts of fruit later in the summer, which they subsist on throughout the nonbreeding season. The return of Red-eyed Vireos to their breeding territories in Maine is a yearly reminder that conserving healthy forest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a> is important not only here at home, but also in the neotropical <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/forests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forests</span></a> where they spend the rest of their lives."</p><p><a href="https://maineaudubon.org/news/backyard-bird-of-the-month-for-may-red-eyed-vireo/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">maineaudubon.org/news/backyard</span><span class="invisible">-bird-of-the-month-for-may-red-eyed-vireo/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/birdwatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birdwatching</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BirdListening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BirdListening</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MerlinApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MerlinApp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Merlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Merlin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BirdApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BirdApp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MigratoryBirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigratoryBirds</span></a></p>

But when it comes to large-scale environmental problems, this one may be a relatively easy fix.</p><p>By Alissa Greenberg<br>Friday, April 1, 2022 </p><p>"In recent decades, lightbulbs made with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LEDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LEDs</span></a> arrived, a revolution in energy efficiency with seemingly little downside. After all, an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LED" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LED</span></a> bulb converts some 90% of the electricity it uses into light, whereas a conventional incandescent bulb only converts about 10%. And LED bulbs are touted as lasting up to 25 times longer.</p><p>"But the physics of LEDs make them fundamentally different from incandescents. While those traditional bulbs put out warm white light made of all colors mixed together, LEDs filter blue-rich light through a specialized phosphor material, producing light that appears white to the human eye but is still more blue-intense than incandescents’ light.</p><p>"But <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlueLight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueLight</span></a> is also the most disruptive to our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nighttime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nighttime</span></a> environment because it mimics daylight, disrupting the hormone production and sleep cycles of both animals and humans. </p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Melatonin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Melatonin</span></a>, one of those hormones, helps the immune system destroy renegade cells dividing out of control. That can lead to other health issues, including heightened rates of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a>. And, 'we’re not the only ones who produce melatonin,' says Mario Motta, a cardiologist and trustee of the American Medical Association. Even amoebae produce melatonin'—meaning even amoebae might be vulnerable to light at night. </p><p>"The impacts of light pollution are evident everywhere from human health to astronomy research, but they come into particular focus in the recent phenomenon of global species <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dieoffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dieoffs</span></a>. Between 100 million and a billion birds die every year due to light pollution, according to Massachusetts IDA chapter president James Lowenthal. New York City recently dealt with a huge die-off, 'with flocks of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MigratoryBirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigratoryBirds</span></a> slamming into buildings,' says Sarah Bois, an ecologist at the island’s Linda Loring Nature Foundation and a member of Nantucket Lights. 'They’re attracted to light.' A 2015 study at New York’s 9/11 'Tribute in Light'' installation showed an increase from 500 birds within half a kilometer of the light beams before they were turned on to 15,700 just minutes after.</p><p>"The issue is a double whammy for birds because they rely on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> for food—and those populations are plummeting, with light pollution contributing significantly to the so-called "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InsectApocalypse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsectApocalypse</span></a>.” By some estimates, one third of insects attracted to light sources at night die before morning, either due to exhaustion or because they get eaten. And according to a study in Germany, the number of insects in that country alone that die after being attracted to lights can number 100 billion or more in a single summer. </p><p>"Some starve to death searching for food that should appear bluer at twilight but is lit up amber under streetlights, says insect conservationist Avalon Owens, a doctoral candidate at Tufts University. Some are thrown off by light just the way we are, because of their <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CircadianRhythms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CircadianRhythms</span></a>. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pollinators</span></a> whose schedules are altered by artificial light miss the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flowers</span></a> they’re evolutionarily paired with, if the flowers naturally close and open with the warmth of the sun. And insects that rely on circadian rhythms for their yearly development don’t hibernate in time for winter and freeze to death.</p><p>"On <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nantucket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nantucket</span></a>, these phenomena are of particular concern because the island is home to a remarkably healthy population of northern long-eared <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bats</span></a>, which are endangered. Like many birds, the bats rely on insects for food and are easily dazzled by light, putting them in increasing jeopardy. Jack Dubinsky, director of the Maria Mitchell Aquarium on Nantucket, says he’s concerned that adding increasingly lit-up nights to the challenges of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a>, water quality, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystem</span></a> collapse could put huge pressure on some already struggling species. 'The more curveballs we throw, the less likely they’ll be able to find their way,' he says.</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/light-pollution-led-nantucket-solutions/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/ligh</span><span class="invisible">t-pollution-led-nantucket-solutions/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DarkSkies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DarkSkies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Extinction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StreetLights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StreetLights</span></a></p>
