Population-level impacts of wind energy on wildlife populations: Assessing risk to golden eagles and Indiana bats

摘要

1. A habitat-based estimate of the TOTW local area population size was triple that expected from the assumption of uniform population density. 2. With the FWS 5% threshold for take, that means 33 vs. 11 collisions per year. 3. BUT the 5% rule might not be conservative enough if we cannot narrow our uncertainty about golden eagle demographics at TOTW.
