His presentation\, the "Ecological Effects of Artif icial Light at Night" will be something new for everyone!\n\n\nThe abstra ct for his talk is: Artificial light at night has grown exponentially ove r the past few decades\, even more steeply than human population growth. Almost all living organisms respond in some way to light\, whether natura l or artificial. The negative environmental effects of artificial light o n organisms and ecosystems are now widely recognized\, but most studies a re fairly recent\, and many more are needed in order to fully evaluate th ese effects. In any case\, the known effects vary widely between organism s and environmental conditions. This symposium will focus on the general effects of artificial light at night on several groups of organisms\, inc luding fireflies\, bats\, birds\, insects\, sea turtles\, frogs\, and mam mals\, including humans. Most of the information comes from the book\, Ec ological Consequences of Artificial Night Lighting\, Catherine Rich and T ravis Longcore\, editors. Methods to reduce the negative effects of artif icial light on organisms and ecosystems will be discussed.\n\n\nFrom 1989 -2012\, Bullard served as the executive director for the Watershed Commit tee of the Ozarks\, a not-for-profit water quality protection group. Prio r\, he worked as an environmental health supervisor\, Springfield-Greene County Health Department. Since 2015\, he has worked with the James River Basin Partnership as a watershed consultant. He has a master's degree in Natural and Applied Science\, Missouri State University. He taught envir onmental science and aquatic biology courses at Drury University\, 2010-2 015. Books he has published are\, Living Waters: The Springs of Missouri\ , Consider the Source\; A History of the Springfield Public Water Supply\ , Healing Waters: Missouri's Historical Mineral Springs and Spas\, and Sp rings of Greene County. He has a lifelong love of water and enjoys canoei ng and fishing on Ozark streams. Bullard is married to Beth\, has two dau ghters and lives here in Springfield.
