新兴的照明技术为减少碳足迹和保护生物多样性提供了机会。除了安装发光二极管路灯外，许多地方当局也在调光路灯。这可能会为厌恶光线的蝙蝠物种创造黑暗的避难所，让它们在人类主导的栖息地觅食和通勤。我们进行了一项野外实验，以确定光照强度如何影响Myotis属中光机会性的管道蝙蝠和厌恶光的蝙蝠的活动。我们在郊区环境的现有路灯上使用了四个由中央管理系统控制的照明级别(原始输出的0%、25%、50%和100%)。较高的光照强度(原始产量的50%和100%)增加了喜光蝙蝠的活动，但降低了厌恶光蝙蝠的活动。与非光照处理相比，25%的光照水平对松材线虫和Myotis spp均无显著影响。我们的结果表明，通过提供足够的光照来满足人类的需求，同时又不能阻止讨厌光线的蝙蝠，有可能实现既能提供经济效益又能带来生态效益的光照强度。
Emerging lighting technologies provide opportunities for reducing carbon footprints, and for biodiversity conservation. In addition to installing light-emitting diode street lights, many local authorities are also dimming street lights. This might benefit light-averse bat species by creating dark refuges for these bats to forage and commute in human-dominated habitats. We conducted a field experiment to determine how light intensity affects the activity of the light-opportunistic Pipistrellus pipistrellus and light-averse bats in the genus Myotis. We used four lighting levels controlled under a central management system at existing street lights in a suburban environment (0, 25, 50 and 100% of the original output). Higher light intensities (50 and 100% of original output) increased the activity of light-opportunistic species but reduced the activity of light-averse bats. Compared to the unlit treatment, the 25% lighting level did not significantly affect either P. pipistrellus or Myotis spp. Our results suggest that it is possible to achieve a light intensity that provides both economic and ecological benefits by providing sufficient light for human requirements while not deterring light-averse bats.
