A Critical Review of Home Range Studies Tập 72 Số 1 - Trang 290-298 - 2008
Peter N. Laver, Marcella J. Kelly
Abstract No consensus currently exists for the methods of estimation of home
range size or for reporting home‐range analysis results. Studies currently
employ a variety of disparate methods or provide inadequate information for
reproducing their analyses. We reviewed 161 home range studies published in
2004, 2005, and 2006 to assess what methods are currently employed and how

Abstract Wind has become one of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy
worldwide, but widespread and often extensive fatalities of bats have increased
concern regarding the impacts of wind energy development on bats and other
wildlife. We synthesized available information on patterns of bat fatalities
from a review of 21 postconstruction fatality studies conducted at 19 facilities
in 5 Un... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACT Wind energy development represents significant challenges and
opportunities in contemporary wildlife management. Such challenges include the
large size and extensive placement of turbines that may represent potential
hazards to birds and bats. However, the associated infrastructure required to
support an array of turbines—such as roads and transmission lines—represents an
even larger pot... hiện toàn bộ
