Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the impacts of wind farms on birds
TL;DR: The potential effects of the proposed increase in wind energy developments on birds are explored using information from studies of existing wind farms, and the requirements for assessing the impact of future developments are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Space partitioning without territoriality in gannets.

TL;DR: It is found that northern gannets, satellite-tracked from 12 neighboring colonies, nonetheless forage in largely mutually exclusive areas and that these colony-specific home ranges are determined by density-dependent competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collision Effects of Wind‐power Generators and Other Obstacles on Birds
TL;DR: It is concluded that, in some circumstances, collision mortality can adversely affect bird populations, and that greater effort is needed to derive accurate estimates of mortality levels locally, regionally, and nationally to better assess impacts on avian populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seabird foraging ranges as a preliminary tool for identifying candidate Marine Protected Areas
Chris B. Thaxter,Ben Lascelles,Kate Sugar,Aonghais S.C.P. Cook,Staffan Roos,Mark Bolton,Rowena H. W. Langston,Niall H. K. Burton +7 more
TL;DR: Representative foraging ranges may be useful to suggest likely colony-specific foraging areas, prior to habitat-association modelling for defining candidate MPAs, and would help progress towards more comprehensive protection of seabird populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of breeding birds around upland wind farms
James W. Pearce-Higgins,Leigh Stephen,Rowena H. W. Langston,Ian P. Bainbridge,Ian P. Bainbridge,Rhys Bullman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether there is reduced occurrence of breeding birds close to wind farm infrastructure (turbines, access tracks and overhead transmission lines) and found that birds are more likely to occur close to the turbines.
