Factors affecting carcass detection at wind farms using dogs and human searchers

2020-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The use of detection dogs to effectively monitor bird and bat fatalities at wind farms is becoming increasingly popular. All studies to date agree that dogs outperform human searchers at finding bird and bat carcasses around wind turbines; however, it remains unclear how characteristics of the carcass and environmental conditions during the search may influence detection. We investigate the effect of carcass size,...
