Hello everyone,

I wrote a piece about a paper that just published in the journal, Biology
Letters, that you may be interested to read. This study investigates the
possibility that different colours of artificial light may have different
effects on the physiology of songbirds that are breeding nearby. it's
preliminary, but it's the first study of its kind that poses such a
question. You can read more here:
