"If this were not in the nation's leading science journal, the work would likely be dismissed."
"Lindecke et al. looked at the impacts of relatively weak broadband radiofrequency fields on migratory soprano pipistrelle bats and found that it disrupted their orientation even hours after exposure [...] these results suggest that the ever-present din of our devices may be having a bigger effect than was previously thought."
"Our experiments show that EM noise exposure disrupts the orientation of bats several hours beyond the exposure period."
"These effects persisted for more than 2 hours after the exposure period. The findings demonstrate that human-generated radiofrequency noise at levels that are commonly encountered by wildlife can have a long-lasting impact on sensory or navigational mechanisms that control animal orientation behaviors."
