- Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “Such effects are of concern because longer fl ight paths may, by increasing energy expenditure, decrease energy available for reproduction and disrupt connectivity between feeding, roosting, moulting and breeding areas (Drewitt and Langston, 2006).”
- An operational model predicting autumn bird migration intensities for flight safety (2007, background): “For example, migration predictions are of importance for the study and reduction of the impact of wind turbines on bird migration (Drewitt & Langston 2006; Hüppop et al. 2006), outbreaks and the spread of zoonotic pathogens such as West Nile virus and avian influenza (Reed et al. 2003; FAO 2005),…”

- Spatial distribution of wind turbines is crucial for the survival of red kite populations (2012, background): “Many studies have shown that features of wind turbines such as rotor height and diameter, rotor speed, illumination or habitat and topography around wind turbines affect the collision risk (de Lucas et al., 2008; reviewed in Drewitt and Langston, 2006).”
- Variation in bat and bird fatalities at wind energy facilities: assessing the effects of rotor size and tower height (2007, background): “Other factors influencing fatality rates may include differences in the number of species present in the area ( Drewitt and Langston 2006 ) and their population sizes, the use of migration corridors (Nelson and Curry 1995), variation from site to site in the height at which birds and bats fly, and v”
- Avian visual system configuration and behavioural response to object approach (2009, neutral): “…around a basic question, it has realistic conservation applications, such as reducing bird collisions with aircraft (Dolbeer 2006; Dolbeer & Wright 2008), communication towers (Manville 2000; Evans et al. 2007), wind turbines (Drewitt & Langston 2006) and other vehicles (Erickson et al. 2005).”
- Robust sound event detection in bioacoustic sensor networks (2019, background): “airports [25], windfarms [26], and dense urban areas [27]) would enable appropriate preventive measures for avian wildlife conservation, such as temporary reduction of light pollution [28].”
- Potential impacts of wave-powered marine renewable energy installations on marine birds (2010, background): “…wind industry have been the focus of much research (Desholm & Kahlert 2005, Chamberlain et al. 2006, Desholm et al. 2006, Dierschke et al. 2006, Drewitt & Langston 2006, Hüppop et al. 2006, Masden et al. 2009), although the impact of offshore windfarms on the population dynamics of birds…”
- Ecological and economic cost-benefit analysis of offshore wind energy (2009, background): “01 to 23 mortalities per turbine per year (these data are from both on and offshore wind farms; [34]).”
- Wildlife Conservation and Solar Energy Development in the Desert Southwest, United States (2011, background): “The vast majority of the published research on wildlife and renewable energy development has been focused on the effects of wind energy development on birds (Drewitt and Langston 2006) and bats (Kunz et al. 2007) because of their sensitivity to aerial impacts.”
