Effect of Wind Turbine Proximity on Nesting Success in Shrub-nesting Birds

Wind energy development is rapidly expanding globally, as are concerns about the potential threats wind facilities pose to bird and bat populations. To date, many studies have explored the direct impacts of wind turbines on wildlife, such as wildlife-turbine collisions, but few have addressed indirect impacts, such as habitat degradation. These potentially subtle impacts can have far reaching effects on the abundance, distribution, survival, and...
