• Estimates of bird collision mortality at wind facilities in the contiguous United States 

  Loss, Scott R.; Will, Tom; Marra, Peter P. (2013)

  Abstract Wind energy has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, yet the impacts of wind facilities on wildlife remain unclear. Prior studies estimate between 10,000 and 573,000 fatal bird collisions with U.S. ...
• The ecological evolutionary interplay: density-dependent sexual selection in a migratory songbird 

  Ryder, Thomas B.; Fleischer, Robert C.; Shriver, W. Greg; Marra, Peter P. (2012)
