Peaks in bat activity at turbines and the implications for mitigating the impact of wind energy developments on bats
Abstract Wind turbines are a relatively new threat to bats, causing mortalities worldwide. Reducing these fatalities is essential to ensure that the global increase in wind-energy facilities can occur with minimal impact on bat populations. Although individual bats have been observed approaching win...
