Mitigation of anthropogenic climate change involves deployments of renewable energy
worldwide, including wind farms, which can pose a significant collision risk to volant …

The extraordinary adaptations of birds to contend with atmospheric conditions during their
migratory flights have captivated ecologists for decades. During the 21st century …

Offshore wind energy development (OWED) is rapidly expanding globally and has the
potential to contribute significantly to renewable energy portfolios. However, development of …

Wind turbines and power lines can cause bird mortality due to collision or electrocution. The
biodiversity impacts of energy infrastructure (EI) can be minimised through effective …

The risk of collision between birds and turbines is seen as one of the key issues in the
planning process for offshore wind farms. In some cases, predictions of collision risk have …

Animal tracking data are being collected more frequently, in greater detail, and on smaller
taxa than ever before. These data hold the promise to increase the relevance of animal …

Wind energy generation has become an important means to reduce reliance on fossil fuels
and mitigate against human‐induced climate change, but could also represent a significant …

Flight behaviour characteristics such as flight altitude and avoidance behaviour determine
the species‐specific collision risk of birds with wind turbines. However, traditional …

It is likely that there will continue to be a substantial increase in the number of wind turbines
as we aim to meet global energy demands through renewable sources. However, these …

Background Global positioning systems (GPS) and altimeters are increasingly used to
monitor vertical space use by aerial species, a key aspect of their ecological niche, that we …
