Vesperi & vespere

The Duolingo course teaches us the form vesperi, "in the evening", apparently a locative of vesper, "evening". Does anyone know the difference in meaning with the ablative vespere, which can also mean "in the evening"?

You can see examples of the use of both forms in the article linked to.
And, from the Oxford Latin Dictionary, just to be really nerdy about it:
