Efficacy of Painting Wind Turbine Blades as a Mitigation Measure to Reduce Bird Collisions in a Mediterranean Wind Farm. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Bird mortality due to collisions with wind turbines necessitates the implementation of measures to mitigate this impact. Blade patterning has shown to be a promising measure to increase turbine visibility to birds and reduce collisions. Employing a Before–After–Control–Impact experiment using long‐term fatality searches, bird fatality rates were ...
