Abstract There have been recent renewed commitments to increase the extent of protected areas combat growing biodiversity crisis but underpinning evidence for their effectiveness is mixed and causal connections are rarely evaluated. We used data gathered by three large-scale citizen science programmes in UK provide most comprehensive assessment date whether national (Sites Special Scientific Interest) European (Special Protection Areas/Special Areas Conservation) designated associated with...
Capsule: Strong individual variation was observed in the responses of Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla to environmental covariates related foraging behaviour and habitat selection, overlap with nearby offshore windfarms (OWFs).
Failure to adapt migration timing changes in environmental conditions along routes and at breeding locations can result mismatches across trophic levels, as occurs between the brood parasitic common cuckoo
Medium and large scavengers often move long distances to locate sufficient foraging areas, including buffer zones of protected putting them at considerable risk from geographically dispersed threats. Vultures are declining worldwide with poisoning being the greatest threat in Africa. Using a novel capture-recapture model applied carcasses found by 51 GPS tracked vultures, we estimated exposure, threat, vultures southern Tanzania. Exposure was defined as areas that use where likely be given...
Abstract The risk posed by offshore wind farms to seabirds through collisions with turbine blades is greatly influenced species-specific flight behaviour. Bird-borne telemetry devices may provide improved measurement of aspects bird behaviour, notably individual and behaviour specific heights. However, use data from that the GPS or barometric altimeters in gathering height nevertheless constrained a current lack understanding error calibration these methods. Uncertainty remains regarding...
Abstract Reed Phragmites australis is important for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and as a resource humans. Already one of the mostly widely distributed wetland plants globally, reed has recently expanded outside its native range, modifying ecosystems. However, like most plant communities, reedbed rarely been mapped at large geographical scales, restricting information available to ecologists managers. Using Sentinel-2 data machine learning in open-source software, we produce first...
