Abstract

Voigt et al. (2021) provide a thorough analysis of the restrictions inherent to the estimation of bat abundance from acoustic surveys, and conclude that limitations of acoustic monitoring impede the reliable evaluation of bat fatalities at wind turbines. We argue that acoustic data recorded at the nacelle of wind turbines have been experimentally validated as a useful and appropriate measure of bat collisions. Therefore, acoustic data can be used to estimate bat fatalities at wind turbines, provided a referenced and standardised protocol for data acquisition and analysis is used.

标准化和参考声学监测可靠地估计了风力涡轮机中蝙蝠的死亡人数：关于“风力涡轮机声学监测评估蝙蝠死亡风险的局限性”的评论

Voigt等人(2021)对声学调查估算蝙蝠丰度所固有的限制进行了全面分析，并得出结论，声学监测的局限性阻碍了对风力涡轮机中蝙蝠死亡人数的可靠评估。我们认为，在风力涡轮机机舱内记录的声学数据已经被实验验证为蝙蝠碰撞的有用和适当的测量。因此，声学数据可以用来估计蝙蝠在风力涡轮机上的死亡人数，提供一个参考和标准化的协议来获取和分析数据。

期刊介绍： Mammal Review is the official scientific periodical of the Mammal Society, and covers all aspects of mammalian biology and ecology, including behavioural ecology, biogeography, conservation, ecology, ethology, evolution, genetics, human ecology, management, morphology, and taxonomy. We publish Reviews drawing together information from various sources in the public domain for a new synthesis or analysis of mammalian biology; Predictive Reviews using quantitative models to provide insights into mammalian biology; Perspectives presenting original views on any aspect of mammalian biology; Comments in response to papers published in Mammal Review; and Short Communications describing new findings or methods in mammalian biology.
