💀↗️ near forests or wetlands 🌳💧
💀↗️ with low turbine ground clearance
💀↘️ with turbine age⌛
🛑 Curtailment measures ↘️ but do not eliminate mortality

@elisesvlt.bsky.social identified a positive relationship between the acoustic activity of bats at wind turbine nacelle height and the number of fatalities 🦇

Further studies will aim to identify risk behaviors allowing to predict mortality.

@fabien-verniest.bsky.social presented the 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒐𝑬𝒐𝒍𝒉𝒂𝒃 project, that aims to assess the behavioural responses of bats to wind turbines, with a focus on comparing the role of the wake effect between different landscapes and seasons

Charlotte Roemer presented the project 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐨, aiming to inform spatial planning.
Maps of areas of conservation priority for bats and maps of bat sensitivity to renewable energies will be produced to help stakeholders enhance bat conservation in France

🦇 We also worked on a new methodology to establish robust reference values for bat activity at wind turbine nacelle height. This approach will soon be published, enabling consultancy firms to develop their own reference datasets while ensuring consistency across studies.

🦇 Tiphaine Devaux presented the latest bat activity trends from Vigie-Chiro, a participatory acoustic monitoring program for bats. A working group then formed to improve automatic identification by species groups and to integrate automated weather data extraction.
#bioacoustics

🦇 During our annual meeting, "Team Chiro" spent three days presenting current challenges in our respective studies and sharing ideas to solve them.

🔎 We then formed working groups around common research questions.
