This department is offering a grant to develop and test LIDAR technology aimed at studying insect responses to light and noise. The study focuses on the impact of artificial light on nocturnal landscapes in remote locations, particularly in areas adjacent to National Park units. The goal is to understand how energy development activities are affecting the ecosystem and species reliant on nocturnal flying insects in these regions.

| Description: | Views of nocturnal landscapes free from artificial light are important parts of visitor experience. Artificial light is known to affect the movements and behavior of flying insects, but this phenomenon has not been studied in remote locations that have historically been completely free from artificial light. Energy development in the Great Plains and Intermountain West is introducing bright lights into some of these remote areas. Many ongoing or planned developments are close enough to National Park units that they could affect the nocturnal flying insect fauna in the park, and all of the other species that are linked to those insects. |
