Explanation:

The passage describes how artificial lights disrupt animals like frogs (less mating, reduced populations), sea turtle babies (confused), and migrating birds (confused when flying with stars). By showing these negative impacts on animals from artificial lights (a human - made element), it aims to make readers feel sorry for the animals. It doesn't focus on humor (no funny elements), doesn't mention people needing darkness, and there's no indication that the purpose is to establish LaDuke as an expert (the text is more about the animals' situation than LaDuke's expertise).

Answer:

to evoke sympathy for the animals by showing their perspective
