Night-time ecology

Nocturnal biodiversity is often neglected in a world dominated by diurnal species. Anthropogenic impacts on the night-time environment are still underappreciated and require investigation of the mechanisms that might structure differential responses to biodiversity threats by nocturnal and diurnal species. Our research has explored how climate change might differentially affect nocturnal and diurnal species through modelling and conservation physiological research. We are also studying the effects of artificial light at night and how this impacts tropical species.
