Photovoltaic panels affect arthropod and plant communities: a systematic review

Due to climate change, photovoltaic facilities are being rapidly scaled up. However, such a development can come at a cost for biodiversity. We conducted a systematic review, including a critical appraisal, and meta-analyses to better understand the effects of photovoltaic panels...

Bridging Local Ecological Knowledge and Remote Sensing for Wildlife Assessment and Conservation: Insights from Sebitoli, Kibale National Park, Uganda

Effective conservation of tropical forests under sustained anthropogenic pressure requires reliable, up-to-date knowledge of species presence, yet local ecological knowledge (LEK), camera trapping (CT), and passive acoustic recording (PAR) are rarely compared and used jointly aga...

Optimising bat-friendly curtailment algorithms for wind turbines

Wind turbines worldwide cause high mortality in long-lived bats through collisions. To mitigate these impacts, operators commonly apply blanket curtailment by stopping turbine blades under low wind speed and mild temperature, when bat activity is often high and energy production...
