Wildlife forensics: Using stable isotopes and genetics to identify the geographic scale and population impacts of fatalities at wind-energy facilities

Renewable forms of energy production are rapidly growing in prominence throughout the world, but renewables also kill large numbers of bats and birds. Understanding the impact of renewables on wildlife is a thus high priority for animal conservation and for environmentally sensitive implementation and management of such facilities. Yet, such efforts are hindered by the lack of knowledge of the movement patterns and population characteristics of many impacted species. Recent advances in the fields of stable isotope ecology and population genomic analysis provide opportunities to address this challenge by retrospectively assessing geographic origin and population size/structure using samples from animal carcasses. Here, I will summarize our recent and ongoing work that applies stable isotope and genetic tools in wildlife forensics, yielding new basic biological insights, as well as information that is relevant to management and conservation decisions about the ecological consequences of renewable-energy development.
