Minimizing aviation lighting duration reduces bat attraction to wind turbines #DEU Abstract: Wind turbines negatively affect bats through mortality, which can be exacerbated by attraction behaviours, and loss of habitat use caused by avoidance behaviours. However, potential mechanisms driving bat responses to wind turbines are still poorly understood. This is especially true of red aviation lighting, designed to prevent aircraft collisions and implemented in many countries, that could be perceived by bats from a long distance and lead to a response at a large spatial scale.
