Bird deterrence is therefore crucial, but the effectiveness of all available deterrence methods is limited. For example, live avian predators can be a highly effective deterrent, because potential prey will not habituate to them, but live predators cannot be controlled with sufficient precision. Thus, there is an urgent need for new deterrence methods. To this end we developed the RobotFalcon, a device that we modelled after the peregrine falcon, a cosmopolitan predator that preys on a large range of bird species. Mimicking natural hunting behaviour, we tested the effectiveness of the RobotFalcon to deter flocks of corvids, gulls, starlings and lapwings. We compared its effectiveness with that of a drone, and of conventional methods routinely applied at a military ai...

In this study, we conducted visual surveys in the central Tyrrhenian Sea to determine areas with simultaneous presence of bottlenose dolphins, four species of seabirds (Audouin's gull, Yellow-legged gull, Yelkouan shearwater and Cory's shearwater), and baitballs occurring at the surface, indicating the presence of potential prey items. We also analysed their occurrence in relation to topography (depth, slope and distance from the shore) and seabed types. Kriging analysis identified areas with simultaneous presence of several marine top predators. Dolphin distribution appeared to be linked to gentle slope (6–10 m) and muddy seabed, possibly associated with prey distribution, whereas the four seabird species were more frequent in areas with a water depth of 100–150 m, gentle slope and muddy sea...
