Spillover delay effects of damaging wildlife strike events at U.S. airports

Levi Altringer et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the spillover departure delay effects of damaging wildlife strike events on commercial passenger airlines. The study finds that the delay effects are largely contained within the airline to which the strike occurred, with immediate same-leg flights experiencing particularly large effects. The behavior of the spillover delay effects also depends on whether the strike flight's destination airport is an airline hub or not. The estimated average treatment effects suggest that each damaging wildlife strike event generates significant within-airline excess departure delay and results in a substantial external cost.

Avian behaviour changes in response to human activity during the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom

Miyako H. Warrington et al.

Summary: This study found that changes in human activity during the COVID-19 lockdown resulted in altered habitat use in 80% of bird species examined. The type and extent of human activity changes had different effects on bird counts, indicating the potential impact of human activities on contemporary evolution in animals.

Regional variation in the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quantity and quality of data collected by the project eBird

Wesley M. Hochachka et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted natural systems globally and also influenced the quality and quantity of data collection. A study on the volunteer-based bird monitoring project eBird revealed subtle changes in data collection and observer effort during the pandemic, with varying effects across different political units.

Global COVID-19 lockdown highlights humans as both threats and custodians of the environment

Amanda E. Bates et al.

Summary: The global lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic has impacted human interactions with nature, resulting in immediate effects on wildlife and environmental threats. Reports from around the world indicate a mix of positive and negative impacts on conservation and illegal activities.

Elevated wildlife-vehicle collision rates during the COVID-19 pandemic

Joel O. Abraham et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, despite reduced traffic volume, wildlife-vehicle collisions did not decrease but actually increased as the pandemic progressed, suggesting that decreased traffic volume does not always reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions.

Bird strikes at commercial airports explained by citizen science and weather radar data

Cecilia Nilsson et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that using radar data and eBird data can accurately predict bird strike events. The research also found that the probability of aircraft collisions with birds is related to the amount of migration captured by weather radar, and the most damaging strikes may occur when bird species are more abundant.

Estimating wildlife strike costs at US airports: A machine learning approach

Levi Altringer et al.

Summary: The study utilizes modern machine learning techniques to provide a more accurate estimate of the economic burden of wildlife strikes on the US civil aviation industry, revealing an average annual loss of approximately $54.3 million. Further research should consider differences in strike characteristics for more comprehensive findings.

Contrasting effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on urban birds' reproductive success in two cities

Gabor Seress et al.

Summary: The study results suggest that in urban environments, although human disturbance decreased or increased during the lockdown, it did not seem to have a positive impact on the reproductive success of great tits. This indicates that urbanization may have negative effects on local wildlife populations, and that a few months of 'anthropause' is not enough to counteract these impacts.

Reduced human activity during COVID-19 alters avian land use across North America

Michael B. Schrimpf et al.

Summary: The study found that the decline in human activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic has affected bird populations in North America, with an increase in the number of birds observed in urban areas, near major roads and airports. These results suggest that reducing traffic and mitigating disturbance from human transportation could make urban spaces more attractive to birds.
