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 shown here that striped targets are significantly less attractive to host-seeking female tabanids than homogeneous white or black targets, even when they emit tabanid-luring CO2 and ammonia, which demonstrates the visual protection of striped coat patterns against attacks from blood-sucking dipterans, such as horseflies, known to transmit lethal diseases to ungulates.

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: This paper shows how to make better use of the multi-spectral capabilities of commercial digital cameras and shows their application for airglow analysis, and recommends a novel sky quality metric the “Dark Sky Unit”, based on an easily usable and SI traceable unit.

TL;DR: A new horsefly trap called "horseflypaper" is constructed based on earlier findings on the positive polarotaxis (attraction to linearly polarised light) in tabanid flies and modifying the concept of the old flypaper, which catches water-seeking male and female tabanids.
