Acoustic Monitoring of Bat Activity Around Wind Installations; Biological sciences; Evidence synthesis; Reproducibility; Research methodologyAbstract
There is real interest in acoustic monitoring of bat activity around wind installations right now, and real uncertainty about exactly
where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for acoustic monitoring of bat activity around wind
installations, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely
settled and where researchers and reviewers are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption
looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance
