Data from: Mortality limits used in wind energy impact assessment underestimate impacts of wind farms on bird populations
<p>In this archive we share the data and R code used for the construction of population models for seven bird species (Common Starling, Black-tailed Godwit<strong>,</strong> Marsh Harrier, Eurasian Spoonbill, White Stork, Common Tern and White-tailed Eagle) for our assessment of the effects of wind farms (Schippers et al. 2020). In most cases we parameterized our population models based on species-specific survival and reproduction rates from scientific articles and reports, but in the case of the Western Marsh Harrier we analyzed previously unpublished nest success and capture-mark-resighting data. Below we first describe per species which data we used for model parameterization, and then describe per data file what each variable represents.</p> <p>We selected populations of seven species based on the availability of data, considerable likelihood to collide with wind turbines and contrasting ages of first reproduction. For species for which long time series of demographic data were available with population trends clearly changing over time, we separately assessed periods with contrasting population trends, as detailed in the species descriptions below. Mean survival and reproduction rates, standard deviations and additional information like the age of first reproduction can be found in the accompanying paper by Schippers et al. (2020). </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Common Starling</strong></p> <p>On the fast-slow continuum of reproductive capacity, the common starling is the fastest of the seven species we selected: it starts reproducing at an age of one year. We used the mean survival and reproductive rates for the whole Dutch breeding population (Versluijs et al. 2016), distinguishing three separate periods: 1960-1978, 1978-1990 and 1990-2012. In the first period (1960-1978) the population grew at 10% per year. This was followed by a period where the population was relatively stable (1978-1990). During the last period (1990-2012) the population declined strongly.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Black tailed Godwit</strong></p> <p>Kentie et al. (2017) studied two Dutch populations of the Black-tailed Godwit in southwestern Fryslân (Skriezekrite and Kuststrook) over four to five annual transitions (Kentie et al. 2017). Godwits started reproducing at age two, but only had 0.5-0.6 fledglings per breeding pair per year. The adults are rather long-lived with an 86% annual survival rate. We construct separate matrix models for the two populations.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Marsh Harrier</strong></p> <p>Mean vital rates of the Dutch breeding population of Marsh Harriers were estimated for 1997-2015 using respectively ring recoveries available at the Dutch Centre for Avian Migration and Demography NIOO-KNAW and reproduction data from the Dutch Raptor Working Group. Annual survival of Marsh Harriers was analyzed using live re-sightings and dead recoveries of 12,059 birds ringed as nestling between 1991 and 2016 and 74 birds ringed as ‘adult’ in the same period (due to low sample sizes, birds ringed in their first and second calendar year were lumped with older birds in the ‘adult’ category; see ‘marshHarrierSurvival.csv’ below). Nest success was estimated using data of 1914 nests, which were followed from the beginning to the end of the nest cycle, in the Netherlands between 1997 and 2015 (see ‘marshHarrierReproduction.csv’ below; we thank Rob G. Bijlsma for making the data available). </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Spoonbill</strong></p> <p>For each year in the 1994-2008 period, age-specific (first-year, second-year, third-year, older) annual survival rates were derived for the Dutch Spoonbill population from van der Jeugd et al. (2014). Participation in the breeding population was 0% in the first three years and went up from 63% at age four to 95% at age 6 and older.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>White Stork</strong></p> <p>Schaub et al. (2004) analyzed demographic data on White Storks in Switzerland from 1977 till 2000. Here we extracted annual survival and reproduction rates from the COMADRE Animal Matrix Database (version 2.0.1; Salguero-Gómez et al., 2016). Storks start reproducing at age 3, with breeding participation increasing with age from 48% to 100%. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Common Tern</strong></p> <p>For the Common Tern we used mean vital rate estimates published by van der Jeugd et al. (2014) for the Dutch Waddenzee population, including the Northern part of the IJsselmeer, between 2000 and 2010 (van der Jeugd et al. 2014). The total Waddenzee and IJsselmeer population is estimated at 7,630 pairs (average population 2010-2014), constituting approximately 40% of the Dutch breeding population of about 20,000 pairs (Sovon 2016). </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>White-tailed Eagle</strong></p> <p>Krüger et al. (2010) published demographic data on White-tailed Eagles in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, over the period 1947 till 2008. Following these authors, and based on the two matrices in COMADRE v.2.0.1 (Salguero-Gómez et al., 2016), we used separate matrix models for the early period (stable population dynamics) and from 1975 onwards (population growth). These eagles start reproducing at age five. </p> <p> </p> <p>Here we describe the archived files:</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>matrices.R</strong></p> <p>This annotated R file details how the vital rate estimates are used to construct age-structured, post-breeding-census, one-year-timestep population matrix models. In these so-called post-breeding census models the birds in the first class were 0 years old (Caswell 2001).</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>commonstarling19602012.csv</strong></p> <p>Mean survival and reproductive rates for the whole Dutch breeding population of Common Starlings for the time period 1960-2012. </p> <p>year = start year</p> <p>juvSurv = first-year survival of fledgelings</p> <p>adultSurv = annual survival of older birds</p> <p>fec = number of fledgelings per pair (which have a 1:1 sex ratio)</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>blacktailedgodwit20112016.csv</strong></p> <p>Mean survival and reproduction rates of the Black-tailed Godwit in southwestern Fryslân (populations Skriezekrite and Kuststrook) over four to five annual transitions in the period 2011-2016. </p> <p>pop = population</p> <p>startYear = start year</p> <p>adultSurv = annual survival of older birds</p> <p>chickSurv = first-year survival of chicks</p> <p>nestSuc = probability that a nest is successful</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>marshharrier19972015.csv</strong></p> <p>Mean vital rates of the Dutch breeding population of Western Marsh Harriers for 1997-2015.</p> <p>year = start year</p> <p>r = number of fledgelings per pair</p> <p>s1 = first-year survival of fledgelings</p> <p>s2 = annual survival of older birds</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>marshharrierreproduction.csv</strong></p> <p>Western Marsh Harrier nest record data of in the Netherlands.</p> <p>year = year</p> <p>clutchSize = number of eggs</p> <p>young = number of chicks (if known)</p> <p>fledgelings = number of fledgelings</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>marshharriersurvival.csv</strong></p> <p>Ringing and resighting data (using EURING coding) on Western Marsh Harriers in the Netherlands. </p> <p>ringID = ring identifier</p> <p>date = observation date</p> <p>metalRingInformation</p> <p>1 = Metal ring added (where no metal ring was present), position (on tarsus or above) unknown or unrecorded.</p> <p>2 = Metal ring added (where no metal ring was present), definitely on tarsus.</p> <p>3 = Metal ring added (where no metal ring was present), definitely above tarsus.</p> <p>4 = Metal ring is already present.</p> <p>condition </p> <p>0 = Condition completely unknown.</p> <p>1 = Dead but no information on how recently the bird had died (or been killed).</p> <p>2 = Freshly dead – within about a week.</p> <p>3 = Not freshly dead – information available that it had been dead for more than about a week.</p> <p>4 = Found sick, wounded, unhealthy etc. and known to have been released (including ring or other mark identified on a bird in poor condition without the bird having being caught).</p> <p>5 = Found sick, wounded, unhealthy etc. and not released or not known if released.</p> <p>6 = Alive and probably healthy but taken into captivity.</p> <p>7 = Alive and probably healthy and certainly released (including ring or other mark identified on a healthy bird without the bird having being caught).</p> <p>8 = Alive and probably healthy and released by a ringer (including ring or other mark identified on the bird by a ringer without the bird having being caught). </p> <p>ageReported </p> <p>0 = Age unknown, i.e. not recorded.</p> <p>1 = Pullus: nestling or chick, unable to fly freely, still able to be caught by hand.</p> <p>2 = Full-grown: able to fly freely but age otherwise unknown.</p> <p>3 = First-year: full-grown bird hatched in the breeding season of this calendar year.</p> <p>4 = Afer first-year: full-grown bird hatched before this calendar year;

Potential short-term earthquake forecasting by farm animal monitoring
<p class="AbstractSummary">Whether changes in animal behavior allow for short-term earthquake predictions has been debated for a long time. Before, during and after the 2016/2017 earthquake sequence in Italy, we deployed bio-logging tags to continuously observe the activity of farm animals (cows, dogs, sheep) close to the epicenter of the devastating magnitude M6.6 Norcia earthquake (Oct-Nov 2016) and over a subsequent longer observation period (Jan-Apr 2017). Relating 5304 (in 2016) and 12948 (in 2017) earthquakes with a wide magnitude range (0.4 ≤ M ≤ 6.6) to continuously measured animal activity, we detected how the animals collectively reacted to earthquakes. We also found consistent anticipatory activity prior to earthquakes during times when the animals were in a building (stable), but not during their time on a pasture. We detected these anticipatory patterns not only in periods with high, but also in periods of low seismic activity. Earthquake anticipation times (1-20hrs) are negatively correlated with the distance between the farm and earthquake hypocenters. Our study suggests that continuous bio-logging of animal collectives has the potential to provide statistically reliable patterns of pre-seismic activity that could yield valuable insights for short-term earthquake forecasting. Based on a-priori model parameters we provide empirical threshold values for pre-seismic animal activities to be used in real-time observation stations.</p>

Environmental DNA (eDNA) from multiple pathogens is elevated near active Atlantic salmon farms
<p>The spread of infection from reservoir host populations is a key mechanism for disease emergence and extinction risk and is a management concern for salmon aquaculture and fisheries. Using a quantitative environmental DNA methodology, we assessed pathogen eDNA in relation to salmon farms in coastal British Columbia, Canada, by testing for 39 species of salmon pathogens (viral, bacterial, and eukaryotic) in 134 marine environmental samples at 58 salmon farm sites (both active and inactive) over three years. Environmental DNA from twenty-two pathogen species was detected 496 times and species varied in their occurrence among years and sites, likely reflecting variation in environmental factors, other native host species, and strength of association with domesticated Atlantic salmon. Overall, we found that the probability of detecting pathogen eDNA was 2.72 (95% CI: 1.48, 5.02) times higher at active versus inactive salmon farm sites and 1.76 (95% CI: 1.28, 2.42) times higher per standard deviation increase in domesticated Atlantic salmon eDNA concentration at a site. If the distribution of pathogen eDNA accurately reflects the distribution of viable pathogens, our findings suggest that salmon farms serve as a potential reservoir for a number of infectious agents; thereby elevating the risk of exposure for wild salmon and other fish species that share the marine environment.</p>
