Estimation of spatiotemporal trends in bat abundance from mortality data collected at wind turbines

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 227-238, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, are essential tools for reducing the causes of climate change, but wind turbines can pose a collision risk for bats. To date, the population‐level effects of wind‐related mortality have been estimated for only 1 bat species. To estimate temporal trends in bat abundance, we considered wind turbines
