Multidisciplinary Tracking of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Outbreak in Griffon Vultures, Southern Europe, 2022 Open
Since 2021, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus has affected wild bird populations globally. Griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus), a species hitherto considered unexposed, experienced an HPAI H5N1 outbreak in 20…

Towards a better understanding of avian collision in wind energy facilities using automatic detection systems Open
The rapid expansion of wind power energy has direct negative impacts on biodiversity, notably on avifauna through collisions with turbines. A better understanding of the collision causes is key to improving mitigation efforts. Collisions a…

Crossing the Sahara by small jumps: the complete migration of the Western Orphean Warbler Curruca hortensis Open
We analyzed data retrieved from six multi-sensor loggers deployed on adult Western Orphean Warblers Curruca hortensis in France, to unravel the migration strategy of the species. Individuals followed a mostly direct, straight-line route to…

<i>Eoldist</i>, a Web Application for Estimating Cautionary Detection Distance of Birds by Automatic Detection Systems to Reduce Collisions With Wind Turbines Open
The installation of automatic detection systems (ADSs) on operating wind energy facilities is a mitigation measure to reduce bird collisions. The effectiveness of an ADS depends on a combination of parameters, including the detection dista…

Adaptive cross-country optimisation strategies in thermal soaring birds Open
Thermal soaring enables birds to perform cost-efficient flights during foraging or migration trips. Yet, although all soaring birds exploit vertical winds effectively, this group contains species that vary strongly in their morphologies. A…

Using juvenile movements as a proxy for adult habitat and space use in long‐lived territorial species: a case study on the golden eagle Open
Effective conservation management of wildlife species depends on understanding their space and habitat use. Telemetry has become the primary source of data for information on how species use space and habitats. However, animals can be diff…

Wind farms and griffon vultures: No evidence for habituation and coexistence, a reply to Farfàn et al. Open
In a recent paper, Farfán et al. (2023) suggested that a population of griffon vultures in Málaga province (southern Spain) have gradually become habituated to the presence of wind turbines, and even actively avoid them, thus reducing the …
