Abstract:Drones are increasingly being used to monitor, film, and survey birds. Many studies also report that, as compared to traditional methods such as ground counts or helicopter surveys, drones can reduce bird disturbance. Yet, best practices on how drones should be flown to reduce adverse behavior are usually species‐specific and context‐dependent, and are therefore often difficult to apply to new management scenarios. Here, we reviewed 149 avian studies, all of which involved drone use and were published in peer‐… Show more
