Abstract Wind turbines and power lines can cause bird mortality due to collision or electrocution. The biodiversity impacts of energy infrastructure (EI) be minimised through effective landscape‐scale planning mitigation. identification high‐vulnerability areas is urgently needed assess potential cumulative EI while supporting the transition zero carbon energy. We collected GPS location data from 1,454 birds 27 species susceptible within Europe North Africa identified where tracked are most...
ABSTRACT The installation of automatic detection systems (ADSs) on operating wind energy facilities is a mitigation measure to reduce bird collisions. effectiveness an ADS depends combination parameters, including the distance bird, its flight speed, and time complete chosen action (e.g., turbine shutdown). We created web application, Eoldist , calculate cautionary distances required by ADS, using speed shutdown as input parameters. compiled database speeds 168 Western Palearctic birds from...
Despite the vital importance of wetlands globally, these habitats have increasingly received anthropogenic materials, such as plastics, which can impact wildlife support. commonly found in nests Eurasian spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia), presence materials has never been quantified. Here, we monitored occurrence nesting (ANM) Camargue wetland Southern France during two breeding seasons (2021-2022). We also investigated their potential function by associating with breeder experience (based on...
Disruption of naturally evolved spatial patterns genetic variation and local adaptations is a growing concern in wildlife management conservation. During the last decade, releases native taxa with potentially non-native genotypes have received increased attention. This has mostly concerned conservation programs, but are also widely carried out to boost harvest opportunities. The mallard, Anas platyrhynchos, one few terrestrial migratory vertebrates subjected large-scale for hunting purposes....
Abstract When wintering at different sites, individuals from the same breeding population can experience conditions, with costs and benefits that may have implications throughout their lifetime. Using a dataset longitudinal study on Eurasian Spoonbills southern France, we explored whether survival rate varied among using sites. In last 13 years, more than 3000 spoonbills been ringed as chicks in Camargue. These birds winter five main regions vary both migratory flyway (East Atlantic vs....
Abstract The recent development of tracking technologies has allowed to discover how small migratory birds cope with large ecological barriers such as seas and deserts, displaying remarkable behaviors like extreme diel flight altitude changes when crossing the Sahara Desert. However, drivers prevalence among terrestrial migrants remain understudied. By deploying multi-sensor loggers on 59 individuals from 16 species in southern Europe, using methods geo-positioning integrating light,...
Abstract C aptive‐bred mallards A nas platyrhynchos have been released for hunting purposes at a very large scale in E urope since the mid‐1970s. In spite of potential genetic impact, actual contribution restocked to genome target population has received little attention. The structure modern wild amargue, S outhern F rance, was assessed from two samples: one originating shot birds bags and presumed ducks captured alive hunting‐free reserve. Reference samples originated five mallard farms,...
Abstract Understanding and modeling population change is urgently needed to predict effects of climate on biodiversity. High trophic‐level organisms are influenced by fluctuations prey quality abundance, which themselves may depend oscillations. Modeling such challenging because populations vary with multiple oscillations occurring at different time scales. The analysis a 28‐yr series capture–recapture data tropical seabird, the Nazca Booby ( Sula granti ), in Galápagos, Ecuador, allowed us...
Capsule Massive releases of captive‐reared Mallard for hunting purposes have been practiced 30 years. During this period the number lamellae per centimetre bill length in wild populations has decreased. Aims Every year since 1970s, several million captive released Europe. This may lead to a spread unnatural phenotypes into wild. Nevertheless, consequences such introductions not examined. Methods Two widespread and common migratory ducks were studied: Anas platyrhynchos Teal A. crecca. is...
Abstract Population time series analysis is an integral part of conservation biology in the current context global changes. To quantify changes population size, wildlife counts only provide estimates because various sources error. When unaccounted for, such errors can obscure important ecological patterns and reduce confidence derived trend. In case highly gregarious species, which are common animal kingdom, estimation group size potential bias, characterized by high variance among...
During the last decade, role of wildlife in emerging pathogen transmission to domestic animals has often been pointed out. Conversely, far less attention paid from wildlife. Here, we focus on case game restocking, which implies release millions worldwide each year. We conducted a 2-year study Camargue (Southern France) investigate influence hand-reared Mallard releases avian influenza virus dynamics surrounding sampled Mallards (cloacal swabs) several duck facilities 2009 and 2010 before...
Unsustainable fossil fuel emissions have prompted a global shift towards renewable energy sources, such as wind. This has led to strong expansion of wind power generation infrastructures, often conflicting with biodiversity conservation. Relatively large flying animals, birds and bats, frequently been reported collide turbines, resulting in casualties that can depress population size lead local extinctions. Migratory species move across continents through their year-round displacements may...
The survival of captive‐bred individuals from release into the wild to their first breeding season is crucial assess success reintroduction or translocation programmes, and potential impact populations. However, assessing following often complicated by immediate dispersal once in wild. Here, we apply Lindberg's robust design model, a method that incorporates emigration study site, obtain true estimates Mallards Anas platyrhynchos , common duck species released on large scale Europe since...
The estimation of demographic parameters in wild populations is strengthened by individual identification. For amphibians, various techniques are used to either temporarily or permanently mark individuals for Photo-identification body patterns offers a non-invasive technique. However, the reliability photo-recognition software key reliable true parameters. In current study, we assessed effectiveness fully-automated and semi-automated software: Wild-ID APHIS. We cryptic salamander Hydromantes...
