Several methods are used to study the behaviour of birds of prey in relation to wind farms, including telemetry data, field observations, and comparisons of turbine base areas. Special attention is given to the effects on different bird species and the impact wind farms may have on population growth and breeding success of birds of prey. Chapter 6 discusses the collision risks at wind turbines and provides an analysis of the fatalities. In the concluding chapter, ideas are put forward to help minimize conflicts, estimate risks, and offer practical recommendations for future research. This book will be of interest to wind farm developers, researchers, applied ecologists and landscape planners.Renewable energy resourcesApplied ecologyConservation biologyEcology Animal ecologyNature conservationRenewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Applied Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023Conservation Biology/Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150Animal Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015Nature Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008Renewable energy resources.Applied ecology.Conservation biology.Ecology .Animal ecology.Nature conservation.Renewable and Green Energy.Applied Ecology.Conservation Biology/Ecology.Animal Ecology.Nature Conservation.621.042Hötker Hermannedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKrone Oliveredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtNehls Georgedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910253975203321Birds of Prey and Wind Farms2124992UNINA
