🛰️ The International Meteor Organization (IMO) suffered a cyberattack that dealt "a critical blow" to its aging website infrastructure, leaving parts of the site down for weeks. Restoring the fireball-reporting system - the backbone of a worldwide volunteer observer network like Bolidozor - was the top priority. No attacker has claimed responsibility yet.

There’s a fantastic article on the front page of the #RNZ website this morning about the rise of birding amongst young people in NZ. It’s been great to see them become big parts of eBird and iNaturalist.

“I don't really care about getting wet or rained on, or muddy,” Joseph says, adding he’s been in a hailstorm whilst bird-watching. “The only thing I'm worried about is the rain ruining my camera.”

Citizen science reveals temporally structured insect attraction and mitigation efficacy under artificial light at night: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-026-10979-2 -> "nocturnal insects exhibit pronounced temporal niche partitioning, suggesting that attraction to artificial light and the effectiveness of mitigation measures may vary over the night. Using a #CitizenScience framework, we show how insect attraction along a lakeside road varies across five nightly intervals, comparing conventional high pressure sodium with tailored and shielded LED road lights. [...] Both total abundances and taxonomic composition showed significant time-by-treatment interactions, demonstrating that incorporating temporal dynamics can greatly improve targeted mitigation strategies." #LightPollution #ALAN

Artificial light harms insects most when they are most active

A Communications Biology citizen-science study found insect attraction to road lights peaked late in the evening and around midnight. Tailored, shielded LED luminaires reduced total attraction most strongly during those peaks, showing that lighting design and timing must work together.
