Red Bat Movement Response to an Ultrasonic Acoustic Deterrent in Flight Cage Trials: Implications for Reducing Bat Fatalities at Wind Facilities
… or too expensive to implement. Ultrasonic acoustic deterrents (UADs) are designed to create a disorienting airspace around wind turbines by emitting sounds that jam bat echolocation calls; however, field tests of UADs have had variable success among species. Variability may be due to …

Understanding Wind Energy Impacts on Bats and Testing Reduction Strategies in South Texas
… as well. In my second study, I monitored bat acoustic activity at three wind turbines at Los Vientos during late summer to early fall. I investigated relationships between bat activity and bat fatality, weather, and temporal covariates to further our understanding of conditions under which …

Predicting risks from acoustic deterrents
Increasingly, the use of man-made sound (‘acoustic deterrents’) is sought to lessen humanwildlife<br/>conflicts by discouraging predation, displacing species away from harmful stimuli,<br/>or reducing damage to property and resources. In the marine environment, Acoustic Deterrent<br/>Devices (ADDs) …

Interactions between harbour porpoises and aquaculture on the west coast of Scotland
… The present study conducted long-term Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) at eight salmon farms within the wider Firth of Lorn and Sound of Mull, to determine whether porpoises interact with farms on Scotland’s<br/>west coast. Results indicated that although porpoise presence around farms …
