Post-fledging movements of white-tailed eagles: Conservation implications for wind-energy development
International audience The presence of poorly sited wind farms raises concerns for wildlife, including birds of prey. Therefore, there is a need to extend the knowledge of the potential human–wildlife conflicts associated with wind energy. Here, we report on the movements and habitat use of post-fle...

International audience The presence of poorly sited wind farms raises concerns for wildlife, including birds of prey.
