Article Synopsis
- Reliable maps of species distributions, like the IUCN range maps, are crucial for biodiversity research but often don't match actual occurrence data.
- A study found that camera traps detected only 39% of expected species based on IUCN and recent area of habitat (AOH) maps, with most mismatches occurring near range edges.
- The findings highlight that while range maps may not miss areas where species exist, they often include areas where species are absent, stressing the need to combine maps with ground-based data for better conservation planning.
Light pollution is a global phenomenon where anthropogenic light sources continue to grow unabated, affecting both social and ecological systems. This is leaving parks and protected areas as some of the last vestiges of naturally dark environments for protecting views of the night sky. Yet, even parks and protected areas have outdoor lighting.
