In California's Santa Cruz Mountains, coyotes are becoming more nocturnal in areas with human recreation.

As a result, coyotes are eating more nocturnal prey, whose waking hours match up more closely with theirs.

The researchers said this means they're most likely acting out of fear when moving to a more nocturnal lifestyle.

"The name [Noite] started taking shape because the compositions are a bit more nocturnal and mysterious to me somehow," Ursusson explained to Noisey via email.

Who knows how many tweets have been lost to the night, but at least now we have a way to move toward a more nocturnal future.

Roenneberg distinguishes between two types of sleepers: larks (early risers) and owls (as the name suggests, more nocturnal people), in between which there are many varying degrees.

" More nocturnal worries: His son might be "flirting with anorexia," and his 9-year-old daughter "was obsessed, already, with the most brainless computer games, all about domination and detonation.

In our new study in the journal Science, we documented a powerful and widespread process by which mammals alter their behavior alongside people: Human disturbance is creating a more nocturnal natural world.

For example, since coyotes hunt at night, they might see an influx of prey, like squirrels, that are typically day-dwellers, but are slowly becoming more nocturnal to avoid contact with human beings.

Darker, more nocturnal and faded than Blackman's previous work, the tracks sketch a portrait of an artist who is working intensely toward his limits, embodying what it means to explore music to its fullest.

On average, mammals were 1.36 times more nocturnal in response to human activity, meaning an animal who historically split its active time between night and day now spends 68% of its active time at night.

" In the greatest-ever episode of Cribs, Carey wrapped herself in a towel and took a bath on camera, before casually mentioning that she'd swapped out the fish in her aquarium to be more "nocturnal.

Compared to mammals that had low human disturbance and split their time between day and night 50:50, highly disturbed mammals became on average 1.36 times more nocturnal—that equates to a 32:68 split, Gaynor said.

These electrifying storms tend to be concentrated over land and usually occur in the afternoon, while there is typically less lightning over oceans, and when these storms do occur, they tend to be more nocturnal, according to the new research.

Wells, Michael C., and Marc Bekoff. "An observational study of scent-marking in coyotes, Canis latrans." (1981). Recent evidence demonstrates that at least some coyotes have become more nocturnal in hunting, presumably to avoid humans.

Mount Tom is home to many species typical to Vermont and New England. The most common mammals are eastern chipmunks, red and grey squirrels, woodchucks, and white tail deer. More nocturnal mammals are raccoons and skunks, while rarely seen are foxes, fisher cats, or black bears.

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 113: 528-539. Salmon are mostly diurnal when temperature is high, but become more nocturnal if temperature plummets.Fraser, N.H.C., Metcalfe, N.B., and Thorpe, J.E. (1993) Temperature-dependent switch between diurnal and nocturnal foraging in salmon. Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B 252: 135-139.

200px The wingspan is 52–69 mm. Adults are more nocturnal than most sphingids; after an initial bout of activity after dusk, they fly throughout the night. Adults are on wing from June to September in eastern Canada. In New Jersey, there are two generations per year and there are four generations in Louisiana.

To avoid competition with other co-occurring newts, T. carnifex tends to reproduce in the deeper parts of a pond and is more nocturnal.(Fasola, M., 1993. Resource partitioning by three species of newts during their aquatic phase. Ecography 16: 73-81.) Due due their larger size, they can prey on smaller species such as the palmate newt.

They will often scavenge for these fruits below trees in which monkeys are feeding. They are active both day and night, but become more nocturnal near human settlements. Males are territorial and smear gland secretions on rocks and branches to mark their territories; their preferred resting places are generally on elevated ground, where they can observe their territory. Females, by contrast, prefer deeper cover.

North American river otters are active year-round, and are most active at night and during crepuscular hours. They become much more nocturnal in the spring, summer, and fall seasons, and more diurnal during winter. They may migrate as a result of food shortages or environmental conditions, but they do not migrate annually. North American river otters only settle in areas that consist of vegetation, rock piles, and sufficient coverage.

Mammal study, 42(3), 153-161. Another widely recorded mammalian prey ground are procyonids despite a slight penchant for more nocturnal activity, including such prey as raccoon (Procyon lotor), white-nosed coati (Nasua narica), kinkajou (Poto flavus) and cacomistle (Bassariscus sumichrasti).

A bird that sang like Barry White in the forest sounded more like Michael Jackson in the big city. The advent of these animals has also drawn a predator, as Peregrine falcons have also been known to nest in urban areas, nesting on tall buildings and preying on pigeons. The peregrine falcon is becoming more nocturnal in urban environments, using urban lighting to spot its prey. This has provided them with new opportunities to hunt night-flying birds and bats.

The frequency of nocturnal emissions is variable, just as with males. In 1953, sex researcher Alfred Kinsey found that nearly 40% of the women he interviewed have had one or more nocturnal orgasms or wet dreams. Those who reported experiencing these said that they usually had them several times a year and that they first occurred as early as thirteen, and usually by the age of 21. Kinsey defined female nocturnal orgasm as sexual arousal during sleep that awakens one to perceive the experience of orgasm.

More nocturnal varieties are hunted opportunistically and may be caught in the first or last few hours of light. Other smallish mammals, such as shrews, moles, pikas, bats, and weasels, tend to be minor secondary prey, although can locally be significant for individual species. Larger mammals, such as rabbits, hares, and marmots, including even adult specimens weighing as much as , may be hunted by the heaviest and strongest species, such as ferruginous,Smith, D. G. and J. R. Murphy. 1978. Biology of the Ferruginous Hawk in central Utah. Sociobiology 3:79-98.Thurow, T. L., C. M. White, R. P. Howard, and J. F. Sullivan. 1980.

A white-nosed coati in a conservation area in Arenal, Costa Rica While the raccoon and ringtail are nocturnal, coatis are active by day, retiring during the night to a specific tree and descending at dawn to begin their daily search for food. However, their habits are adjustable, and in areas where they are hunted by humans for food, or where they raid human settlements for their own food, they might become more nocturnal. Adult males are solitary, but females and sexually immature males form social groups. They use many vocal signals to communicate with one another, and also spend time grooming themselves and each other with their teeth and claws.

Bears on Kodiak are naturally active during the day, but when faced with competition for food or space, they adopt a more nocturnal (active at night) lifestyle. This behavior is especially evident in the bears that live near and within Kodiak City. Kodiak bears do not defend territories, but they do have traditional areas that they use each year (home ranges). Because of the rich variety of foods available on Kodiak, the bears on the archipelago have some of the smallest home ranges of any brown bear populations in North America and a great deal of overlap occurs among the ranges of individual bears.
