Skyglow, the diffuse illumination of the night sky by artificial light, has never before been experienced during evolutionary history. Together with another feature of global change – the brownification of lakes caused by humic substances – skyglow disrupts the current light conditions in lake ecosystems. We will elucidate the ecological consequences of these phenomena and the mechanisms underlying them.

The killing of even single specimen might be of species conservation legal relevance, so fish mortality at hydropower plants. This project aimed to establish the Mortality Hazard Index as standardized assessment system for the legally relevant mortality risk of species also for the group of fishes and lampreys.
