Using movement modelling to improve the design and analysis of vantage point surveys in bird and wind energy studies

Wind energy, although mostly a clean and increasingly efficient energy source, is known to affect communities of flying vertebrates. Mortality by collision with turbines is one of the main impacts on birds and bats associated with wind energy. Soaring birds are particularly vulnerable due to their c...
