Ryan Lunn studies how birds and other wildlife perceive and react to fast-moving vehicles, especially aircraft and cars, with a focus on how light characteristics (color/wavelength and flashing patterns) can help animals detect and avoid collisions. The work combines behavioral ecology theory with applied modeling to estimate collision risk and to test lighting designs intended to reduce bird strikes.

Output was minimal or absent from 2017–2020, then increased gradually through 2021-2023 before a sharp rise in 2025, suggesting a recent surge in publication activity rather than a long-term steady pattern.
