A predictive model for improving placement of wind turbines to minimise collision risk potential for a large soaring raptor

Megan Murgatroyd et al.

Summary: The study focuses on minimizing collision risks between large soaring raptors and wind turbines by using a predictive model based on GPS tracking data and digital elevation models. By utilizing this model, a larger area of land can be made available for wind energy development without increasing mortality risk to raptors.

Modelling the habitat selection of the bearded vulture to predict areas of potential con fl ict with wind energy development in the Swiss Alps

Sergio Vignali et al.

Summary: This study introduces an alternative method to mitigate conflicts between wildlife and infrastructure, using the reintroduced bearded vulture population in the European Alps as a case study. Results show that a large portion of the Swiss Alps provide suitable habitat for bearded vultures, allowing for accurate prediction of potential conflicts with wind energy production and other aerial infrastructure in Switzerland.

Home range size, space use and resource selection of griffon vultures in an insular environment

S. M. Xirouchakis et al.

Summary: The study of griffon vultures on Crete from 2005 to 2015 showed that immature vultures had larger winter ranges and core areas compared to adults, who were more restricted to breeding colonies and preferred sites away from urban areas. The home range overlap and utilization distribution between different age groups varied significantly between seasons.

Automated detection of Hainan gibbon calls for passive acoustic monitoring

Emmanuel Dufourq et al.

Summary: Developing an automated classifier for extracting species calls from passive acoustic recordings, particularly focusing on the Hainan gibbon calls, using deep neural networks has proven to be an effective and efficient method. The use of neural networks in ecology can greatly simplify the manual process and improve accuracy in identifying species calls.

Demographic and potential biological removal models identify raptor species sensitive to current and future wind energy

Jay E. Diffendorfer et al.

Summary: The study investigates the potential effects of wind turbine collisions on 14 raptor species, with projections suggesting some species could experience population declines due to turbine collisions in future wind energy scenarios. Certain species may benefit from research to identify tools to prevent or reduce collisions with wind turbines.
