Potential feeding sites for seabirds and marine mammals reveal large overlap with offshore wind energy development worldwide
Abstract: Offshore wind energy is experiencing accelerated growth worldwide to support global net zero ambitions. To ensure responsible development and to protect the natural environment, it is essential to understand and mitigate the potential impacts on wildlife, particularly on seabirds and marine mammals. However, fully understanding the effects of offshore wind energy production requires characterising its global geographic occurrence and its potential overlap with marine species. This study aims to generate risk maps of interaction between offshore and seabirds and . . . Complete article »

Mapping bird and bat assemblage vulnerability for predicting wind energy impact
Highlights Passerines and raptors faced the highest bird casualties with griffon vultures most affected. Vespertilionidae bats accounted for 94 percent of deaths with P.pipistrellus most affected. Birds with aerial lifestyles and trophic levels correlated with turbine collisions. Bat mortality in wind turbines was related to guild-type. High vulnerability areas for birds and bats are in southern southeastern and northern Spain. Abstract: We examined the main ecological traits linked to wind turbine mortality in 214 bird and 19 bat species in . . . Complete article »
