Light pollution is often associated with negative effects on wildlife, but research undertaken by the University of Exeter now sheds some light on the subject. Ecologists have found that by mimicking a perpetual full moon, the gas flares and electrical lighting along Scotland's Forth estuary are helping shorebirds stock up on more food during the winter to fuel their spring migration.
