Portrait of Dr. Jacqueline Degen

My research focuses on the analysis of flight behaviour of moths under natural conditions and in presence of artificial light sources. I am particularly interested in the impact of the moon as a natural celestial cue on orientation performance and to what extend light pollution interferes. My main goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying their susceptibility to artificial light at night (ALAN) using field and laboratory experiments.

Current research project:
As part of a doctoral fellowship (DBU), Mona Storms investigates the attraction of spectral properties of artificial light sources using field and laboratory experiments.
