@r_green24 This is very neat! Are other groups of migrants in the pipeline?

[Ros Green @r_green24]

1/6 #BOUasm24 #Sesh1 Global governments need to work together to ensure animal migrants that cross human borders are not cumulatively impacted by anthropogenic developments e.g. Net Zero infrastructure. Assessing the vulnerability of migrants to these developments is essential.

[Dr. Natalie Isaksson @nattenstein]

@r_green24 Agreed, but that AI-generated image is killing my eyeballs 😆

[World Seabird Union @Seabirders]

Researchers reviewed 149 studies on birds and drone use to see if drone speed, bird breeding status, bird size, and the distance between the drone and the bird impacted bird behavior. https://t.co/GselVkXpHK

[Dr. Natalie Isaksson @nattenstein]

@WaardenburgEco Interesting, is there a paper or report for more info?

[Ramesh @Rameshwild]

Studies on the negative impacts of renewable energy infrastructure on birds in India are limited. This presentation aims to provide an overview of this issue based on the existing information. 1/6

But tracking data usage varies widely, with little to no standardization or best practice guidelines available. This can lead to its misuse, impeding reproducibility & interpretability for end-users!😕

[Dr. Natalie Isaksson @nattenstein]

So what IS the appropriate use of bird tracking data for decision-making, consenting, & monitoring #renewables?

I don’t know!

These data often provide fine-scale, 3D insights into individual habitat use & behaviour; allowing assessments of species sensitivity/vulnerability to renewable energy developments, as well as risk of displacement, barrier effects, & collision.

Query: Is bird-borne tracking used appropriately in #RenewableEnergy decision-making & monitoring?

If your answer is anything but yes, this thread is for you!

(If your answer is yes I'd love to hear from you though!)

[Dr. Natalie Isaksson @nattenstein]

2/6 #BOUasm24 #break1
The emergence of affordable bird-borne biologging & telemetry devices has resulted in increasingly large tracking datasets. See for example the 1000’s of entries in https://t.co/R4HAcUZNbp & https://t.co/LYoXutTQp1 🐾
