Studies have shown that light pollution may damage the bat's vector behavior and thus affect the regeneration of tropical rain forests.
The researchers found that facing a man-made fruit bat in Costa Rica faced artificial light would avoid foraging. According to the research team, light pollution may have a negative impact on the ecosystem based on research results and calls for the establishment of a lightless shelter.
Every year, large areas of tropical rainforests are cleared or converted into agricultural land. The team said that when soil fertility declines, the land is often abandoned. Natural succession of wasteland will lead to the loss of biodiversity, and the speed of natural afforestation is very slow. They added that fruit bats can help rainforest plants replant their land and act as seeds for spreading seeds. In natural dark conditions, bats produce a rich seed rain. However, artificial light at night may prevent bats from spreading seeds.
To test this idea, the researchers studied how the short-tailed bats in Sowell ingested food. The research results show that light pollution may have adverse effects on forest regeneration in the tropics. Daniel Lewanzik, co-author of the Leibniz Institute, explained: "In tropical habitats, bats are more effective than other species in their use. Changing the lighting design or creating dark corridors for photosensitive species can reduce light pollution."
