DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5509
Abstract: Abstract Manipulation experiments are a cornerstone of ecological research, but can be logistically challenging to execute—particularly when they are intended to isolate the ecological role of large, vagile species, like birds. Despite indirect evidence that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70022
Abstract: Abstract Species detections often vary depending on the survey methods employed. Some species may go undetected when using only one approach in community‐level inventory and monitoring programs, which has management and conservation implications. We conducted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecog.07935
Abstract: Species distribution models (SDMs) analyse the relationships between species occurrences and environmental predictors. Their efficacy largely depends on the selection of ecologically relevant predictors, with remote sensing (RS) data being one of the most commonly… read more here.

Scavenger removal of bird carcasses at simulated wind turbines: Does carcass type matter?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1994
Abstract: Wind energy development can negatively impact bird populations due to bird–turbine collisions. To accurately estimate bird mortality at wind farms, the number of dead birds found under turbines is commonly corrected for carcass removal by… read more here.
