Artificial light at night disrupts the foraging and commuting behaviour of bats.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that artificial light at night disrupts the foraging and commuting behaviour of bats?

Unclear. The placed sources cover only parts of the claim: one study of least horseshoe bats notes that light is assumed to reduce foraging opportunities while empirical support remains elusive, a pollinator review lists bats among taxa showing altered foraging under artificial light, and a North American field experiment found lighting reduced little brown bat activity. None of these directly establishes disruption of commuting behaviour across bats generally.
