Assessing Risk to Birds from Industrial Wind Energy Development via Paired Resource Selection Models
Wind turbines occur on every continent of the world. Although, many species of wildlife have been negatively affected by the construction of wind turbines, risk of negative effects on wildlife is not equal among wind facilities or among individual wind turbines. Because wildlife and industry select ...

Because wildlife and industry select resources to maximize either biological fitness or economic return, we can estimate risk by overlaying models of resource selection for both. |
