Artificial light at night and concealment level affect detection probability of stranded seabirds: a study with 3D-printed puffin decoys

This study uses 3D-printed puffin decoys to assess how artificial light and concealment affect detection probability in a seabird rescue program, finding higher search effort needed in darkness and concealment.

Under Cover of Darkness: Refuge from Artificial Light at Night may Mitigate Risks to Stranded Seabirds

This study investigates phototactic behavior of Leachs storm-petrel fledglings exposed to artificial light and finds they avoid light, seek shelter in illuminated areas, and may benefit from hide boxes to reduce stranding mortality.

Navigating the Night: Effects of Artificial Light on the Behaviour of Atlantic Puffin Fledglings

This study investigates how artificial light affects Atlantic Puffin fledglings' behavior, finding that illumination increases stranding and that light attraction is not mitigated by changing light types.
