Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms (2016)
Journal Article
Lintott, P., Richardson, S., Hosken, D., Fensome, S., & Mathews, F. (2016). Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms. Current Biology, 26(21), R1135-R1136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.003

Demand for renewable energy is rising exponentially. While this has benefits in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there may be costs to biodiversity [1]. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are the main tool used across the world to predict the... Read More about Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms.

Differential responses of cryptic bat species to the urban landscape (2016)
Journal Article
Park, K. J., Lintott, P. R., Lintott, P., Barlow, K., Bunnefeld, N., Briggs, P., …Park, K. (2016). Differential responses of cryptic bat species to the urban landscape. Ecology and Evolution, 6(7), 2044-2052. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1996

© 2016 Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Urbanization is a key global driver in the modification of land use and has been linked to population declines even in widespread and relatively common species. Cities comprise a complex assortment of habi... Read More about Differential responses of cryptic bat species to the urban landscape.

Understanding the risk to European protected species (bats) at onshore wind turbine sites to inform risk management (2016)
Report
Mathews, F., Richardson, S., Lintott, P., & Hosken, D. (2016). Understanding the risk to European protected species (bats) at onshore wind turbine sites to inform risk management

The aim of this project is to determine the risks to bat populations from wind turbines in Great Britain. The project has investigated bat mortality and activity at a range of wind turbine installations across Great Britain and the results will be us...
