SUMMARY:Lights Out for Fireflies and Other Insects
DESCRIPTION:Insect populations around the world are declining rapidly. But why? While habitat loss\, pesticide use\, and climate change all have something to do with it\, I show in this talk that light pollution is another important — but too often overlooked — bringer of the insect apocalypse. Light pollution interferes with the development\, movement\, foraging\, and reproduction of diverse insect species\, including many that we know and love such as fireflies. Fortunately\, there are many simple things that we can all do to help reverse this driver of insect declines. Light pollution can be cheaply\, easily\, and instantly eliminated\, and doing so can help ensure that we live in harmony with our insect friends and neighbors for generations to come. \nThis free Xerces Society webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \n \nDr. Avalon C.S. Owens – The Rowland Institute at Harvard \nDr. Avalon C.S. Owens (owenslab.org) received her Ph.D. in Biology from Tufts University in spring 2022\, where she studied the impact of artificial light on bioluminescent fireflies. She also holds a B.A. in Integrative Biology from Harvard University and an M.S. in Entomology from National Taiwan University.
