There is uncertainty on the ecological effects of tidal stream turbines. Concerns include
animal collision with turbine blades, disruption of migratory and foraging behaviour …

There has been rapid increase of interest in the role that information acquisition plays in
ecological process and in sha** life histories and their evolution. Compared to auditory …

Direct observation of foraging behavior is not always possible, especially for marine species
that hunt underwater. However, biologging and tracking devices have provided detailed …

Tidal stream turbines could have several direct impacts upon pursuit-diving seabirds
foraging within tidal stream environments (mean horizontal current speeds> 2 ms− 1) …

There is a concern regarding how changes in local hydrodynamics as the result of tidal
stream turbine 4 (TST) arrays may affect foraging opportunities for piscivorous marine …

Mid-latitude shelf-seas are highly productive regions that host a rich diversity of animals
including large numbers of marine mammals and seabirds. These large vertebrate predators …

Tracking and telemetry are routinely used in ecological studies of birds. The attachment of
telemetry devices (or 'tags') to individuals, can, at its simplest level, record the spatial …
