Mammals shift their activities to twilight and night hours in response to human disturbance About 75% of Earth's land surface is currently modified by human activities (1). The expanding footprint of human activities is not only causing the loss of habitat and biodiversity but also affecting the dynamics of wildlife populations. Researchers have long examined human-induced spatial shifts in the distribution of wildlife, but temporal adjustments in animal activity have received less attention. On page 1232 of this issue, Gaynor et al. (2) present a comprehensive meta-analysis to quantify the increase in wildlife nocturnality due to human disturbance.

动物在黑暗中感觉比人类更安全

哺乳动物将它们的活动转移到黄昏和夜间以应对人类干扰 目前大约 75% 的地球陆地表面被人类活动改变 (1)。人类活动足迹的扩大不仅导致栖息地和生物多样性的丧失，而且影响野生动物种群的动态。长期以来，研究人员一直在研究人类引起的野生动物分布的空间变化，但动物活动的时间调整很少受到关注。在本期第 1232 页上，Gaynor 等人。(2) 提出一个全面的荟萃分析来量化由于人为干扰导致的野生动物夜间活动的增加。
