Bird migrations are impressive behavioral phenomena, representing complex
spatiotemporal strategies to balance costs of living while maximizing fitness. The field of bird …

Throughout their evolution seabirds have not had to contend with the collision risk posed by
discrete objects that extend into their flight space above the water surface. However, the …

Human-induced direct mortality affects huge numbers of birds each year, threatening
hundreds of species worldwide. Tracking technologies can be an important tool to …

Unsustainable fossil fuel emissions have prompted a global shift towards renewable energy
sources, such as wind. This has led to a strong expansion of wind power generation …

Placing wind turbines within large migration flyways, such as the North Sea basin, can
contribute to the decline of vulnerable migratory bird populations by increasing mortality …

Deploying onshore wind energy as a cornerstone of future global energy systems
challenges societies and decision-makers worldwide. Expanding wind energy should …

Migrating birds flexibly adjust their individual migratory decisions, ie departing, routing and
landing, based on intrinsic (eg energy stores) and extrinsic (eg landscape features and …

Abstract Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) populations occur on Mediterranean islands, where
wind energy is develo** fast. As griffons are subjected to collisions with wind turbines …

An ecological risk assessment, based on life‐history and behavioural attributes of 273 bird
taxa, was used to identify which of those taxa are at high risk from negative interactions with …

The aim of this article is to analyse the global environmental impact of wind farms, ie, the
effects on human health and the local ecosystem. Compared to conventional energy …
