ABSTRACT A major problem in studying bird movement many countries is data scarcity, precluding information about the spatial and temporal properties of avian distribution dynamics as well their consequences for human lives. We address this by proposing an innovative approach based on relation between counts signal attenuation wireless communication to presence birds across or near links cellular backhaul networks. Wireless point-to-point links, either ground level earth-satellite cover globe. statistically relate terrestrial Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs) migration. Because modern systems measure often log levels routinely, we propose using existing measurements other around world sensors monitoring movement. Using actual from operational CMLs, show that daily cycle during migration periods matched water-bird traffic rate recorded nearby radar. This demonstrates potential proposed method opportunistic CMLs globe, with no additional hardware installation, maintenance, costs.

Abstract Collisions between wildlife and aircraft, commonly referred to as strikes or bird strikes, are rare events that pose considerable safety economic risks the aviation industry. Given potentially dramatic consequences of such events, airports scheduled for passenger service required conduct hazard assessments implement management plans purpose mitigating strike risk. The evaluation management, however, is complicated by imperfect reporting mediates relationship realized risk metrics. In this paper, we shed light on phenomena investigating staggered adoption a federal hazards program at joint-use across contiguous United States. This research design allowed us exploit variation in both presence airports, over time well quality within airports. As hypothesized, found intervention has significant impact reporting, evidenced substantial increase number civil reported period. Where pre-existing mechanisms were more robust, had decrease strike-induced damages among military aircraft. Overall, estimated benefits studied airport 7 times greater than costs Our results have important implications measurement insights pertaining use observational data causal inference, particularly context management.

Abstract Map‐based decision support tools (DSTs) that use species distributions are an important means of identifying priority areas for conservation. The Wisconsin Waterfowl Habitat Conservation Strategy (WWHCS) uses a DST to identify ecological landscapes and watersheds guide waterfowl habitat projects. WWHCS relies on suitability layers derived through expert opinion in lieu distributions, common approach DSTs. Given the subjectivity opinion, model‐driven such as those available from community science projects could provide more reliable information better Here, we explore application relative abundance products eBird Status Trends project alternative expert‐derived DST. Our objectives were compare seasonal models (expert‐derived) distribution (eBird‐derived) determine whether differences influenced prioritizations. Correlations between expert‐ eBird‐derived generally low moderate breeding fall ( ρ : −0.03–0.76), lowest spring −0.49–0.72). There was also minimal agreement among top‐ranked (40%) (28%) two versions Finally, tradeoffs suggest However, additional work validating against professional surveys empirical studies evaluating selection vital rates future considerations conservation Wisconsin.
