Effects of wind farms on raptors: A systematic review of the current knowledge and the potential solutions to mitigate negative impacts

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Our review of 195 studies highlights the consensus on raptors’ avoidance behavior and population decline post‐wind farm installation, emphasizing the significant risks posed by mountaintop wind farms to soaring raptors. Adult raptor mortality, particularly among endangered species, and the elevated collision risks faced by young individuals underscore ...

Habitat Quality and Water Availability Affect Genetic Connectivity of Platypus Across an Urban Landscape

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We developed a set of innovative landscape resistance models to identify how climatic, topographic and vegetation variables influenced gene flow in the iconic Australian platypus across a 300 km2 urbanised landscape. Our research identified topographic wetness, rainfall and vegetation cover as consistently important for maintaining landscape‐scale gene

Preserving Short‐Sward Natural Grasslands May Provide Suitable Foraging Habitat for a Climate‐Threatened Alpine Species Along Ski‐Pistes

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Investigating the ultimate factors that underpin the impacts of ski‐pistes on alpine species is crucial to identify concrete mitigation strategies. This is urgently needed given that winter sports are expanding in mountain ranges worldwide. We evaluated the impacts of ski‐pistes on the foraging behaviour of the white‐winged snowfinch, an iconic alpine ...

Climate Change‐Induced Distribution Shifts of Keratin‐Feeding Beetle Omorgus (Omorgus) suberosus: Implications for Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea Conservation

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Our study projects significant climate change‐induced distribution shifts of a keratin‐feeding beetle Omorgus suberosus, with expansions into higher latitudes in Europe and North America and notable habitat losses in tropical regions by 2100. Ecological niche models predict a global habitat reduction of 9.5% under SSP2–4.5 and 20.8% under SSP5–8.5 ...

Factors influencing the current and future distribution of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), in Ethiopia

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is among the key invasive pests attacking maize and sorghum, the staple cereals in many countries in Africa. The determination of habitat suitability of invasive species via correlative model is among the priority tasks that provide basic information for achieving sustainable ...
