..., fledglings become grounded after encountering artificial light. Such groundings, or fallout events, affect many fledglings each year, causing mass mortality events. To mitigate this light-induced mortality, rescue programmes have been implemented for decades at many locations worldwide. Despite the notoriety...

... the hypothesis that differential exposure to light during the growth period influences responses to artificial light, and that the state of visual development at fledging could be a main driver of the age bias observed during seabird fallout events. It is thus important to evaluate lighting schemes in both urban...
