Wind turbines displace bats from drinking sites

Author:  Scholz, Carolin; Klein, Hannah; and Voigt, Christian

Highlights Bats need water for drinking, but wind turbines may displace them from ponds Acoustic and foraging activity of bats declined at ponds in proximity to turbines Siting turbines away from key habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation Abstract— Bats depend on water for drinking and foraging, but the increasing number of wind turbines may pose a problem for bats, as operating wind turbines are known to displace bats over long distances. We asked whether turbines displace bats from critical . . .

Effect of particles from wind turbine blades erosion on blue mussels Mytilus edulis

Author:  Bedulina, Daria; et al.

Highlights First controlled lab experiment to study biological effects of LEE particles Application of an innovative analytical toolbox for effect assessment Enrichment factors for metals and metalloids determined in M. edulis ranged between 0.93 and 6.1 Metabolite investigation of the mussels’ entire soft body tissue revealed only weak MP-induced changes Abstract Offshore wind farms (OWFs) pose new anthropogenic pressures on the marine environment as the erosion of turbine blades release organic and inorganic substances with potential consequences for marine life. . . .

Wind farms in proximity to marine protected areas put conservation targets at risk

Author:  Garthe, Stefan; et al.

Abstract Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are an important EU legislative tool to protect species biodiversity. Red-throated loons Gavia stellata and black-throated loons G. arctica are the key species in the designation of the SPA ’Eastern German Bight’, located in the German Exclusive Economic Zone of the North Sea; however, one offshore windfarm (OWF) has been constructed within and four OWFs just outside this SPA within the last few years. The current study integrated previous findings on the strong avoidance of . . .

Flight behaviour of Red Kites within their breeding area in relation to local weather variables

Author:  Aschwanden, Janine; Liechti, Felix; and Stark, Herbert

Abstract 1. Birds and bats are prone to collisions with wind turbines. To reduce the number of bat collisions, weather variables are commonly used to shut down wind turbines when a certain constellation of weather variables occurs. Such a general approach might also be interesting to mitigate raptor collisions. Studies on the relationship between flight behaviour and weather variables are needed. 2. To investigate the flight behaviour of raptors within their breeding area in relation to local weather variables, we . . .
