Individual variability in space use near power lines by a long‐lived territoria...
Marques, Ana Teresa; Palma, Luís; Lourenço, Rui; Cangarato, Rogério; Leitão, Alexandre; Mascarenhas, Miguel; Tavares, João Tiago; Tomé, RicardoEvaluating species responses to anthropogenic infrastructures and other habitat changes is often used to assess environmental impacts and to guide conservation actions. However, such studies are generally carried out at the population level, disregarding inter-individual variability. Here, we investigate population- and individual-level responses toward power lines of a territorial raptor, the Bonelli's eagle A...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...
Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

How to mitigate impacts of wind farms on bats? A review of potential conservati...
Peste, Filipa; Paula, Anabela; da Silva, Luís P.; Bernardino, Joana; Pereira, Pedro; Mascarenhas, Miguel; Costa, Hugo; Vieira, José; Bastos, CarlosWind energy is growingworldwide as a source of power generation. Bat assemblagesmay be negatively affected by wind farms due to the fatality of a significant number of individuals after collidingwith the moving turbines or experiencing barotrauma. The implementation of wind farms should followstandard procedures to prevent such negative impacts: avoid, reduce and offset, in what is known as the mitigation hiera...
Enhancing carcass removal trials at three wind energy facilities in Portugal
Bernardino, Joana; Bispo, Regina; Torres, Paulo; Rebelo, Rui; Mascarenhas, Miguel; Costa, HugoDuring the last years there has been a significant worldwide increase in the number of wind farms. This kind of energy can have negative impacts, such as the direct mortality or lethal injury of birds and bats caused by collision with wind turbines. In order to evaluate bird (or bat) mortality regarding wind power generation facilities, strict monitoring protocols are required which must take into account the p...
