The potential for analyses of monitoring scheme data to inform about the impacts of invasive on native species
Author: Pringle, H. & Siriwardena, G.
Published: 2022
The establishment and spread of invasive species are cited as some of the key threats to biodiversity, through impacts such as disease transmission, increased competition or predation, and parasitism. Monitoring and managing invasive species is therefore an important element of biodiversity conservation.

Published: 2022
As demand for new energy infrastructure is growing, international collaborative research involving BTO has identified areas in Europe and North Africa where the construction of new wind turbines or power lines could pose a risk to migrating birds.

Demographic variation in space and time: implications for conservation targeting
Author: Morrison, C.A., Butler, S.J., Clark, J.A., Arizaga, J., Baltà, O., Cepák, J., Nebot, A.L., Piha, M., Thorup, K., Wenninger, T. & Robinson, R.A.
Published: 2022
Researchers used ringing data collected from over 300 sites across Europe to assess variation in the breeding productivity and survival of 26 passerine species across space and time. The results suggest that targeting factors affecting breeding site productivity will result in more effective conservation outcomes than attempts to address variation in annual survival rates.

Can citizen science provide a solution for bat-friendly planning?
Author: Border, J.A., Gillings, S., Reynolds, T., Neeve, G. & Newson, S.E.
Published: 2022
Can gaps in our knowledge about the occurrence and activity of UK bats be addressed through the use of a citizen science approach? Can we use such an approach to support effective decision-making during the planning process, with opportunity and risk maps that can guide planning decisions and the location of mitigation measures?
