TL;DR: It is confirmed that Ephoron virgo is independently attracted to both unpolarized and polarized light sources, that both types of photopollution are being produced at the bridge, and that spatial patterns of swarming and oviposition are consistent with evolved behaviors being triggered maladaptively by these two types of light pollution.

TL;DR: It is found that at partial moon and at a medium latitude during this transition there is a relatively short period when (i) the maximum of p of skylight decreases, and (ii) from the celestial α pattern neither the solar-antisolar nor the lunar-antilunar meridian can be unambiguously determined.

TL;DR: ARCs are most likely to reduce PLP and benefit aquatic insects under sunny skies and when used in conjunction with white non-polarizing gridding, but may actually exacerbate the severity of their negative effects under overcast conditions.

TL;DR: All species showed similar orientation after the cue-conflict as compared to the preferred orientation recorded before the cues, with the clearest results in the European robin and thus, the results did not support recalibration of the celestial nor the magnetic compasses as a result of the cues.

TL;DR: It is shown that the number of mayflies exiting the river's area was practically zero when the beacons were operating, and the protection of mayfly populations in small rivers and safeguarding their aggregation and oviposition sites is therefore important.
