However, one mitigation approach to climate change – exploiting renewable energy through offshore wind farms – itself poses a potential threat to Kittiwakes, partly due to collision risk with turbine blades. 09.09.24 Papers View on journal website Northern Gannet foraging trip length increases with colony size and decreases with latitude Author: Published: 2024 04.09.24 Papers View on journal website Diversity in Irish and British avifauna assemblages: What can variation in diversity profiles reveal about the forces that drive assemblage composition and structure?
