Under this situation, avian power line mortality becomes a likely cause of population decline, especially when combined with other causes of human-induced mortality such as shooting, poisoning, trapping, collision with human-made objects (e.g. wind turbines), habitat destruction or exposure to environmental contaminants [2].

I believe in a greater good that I can't see, and that my dead relatives were granted avian powers to hover above me, protecting and watching me, except when I'm having butt sex.
The polarity of the evolution of endothermy indicates that rapid growth, insulation, erect postures, and perhaps aerobic power predated advanced "avian" lung structure and high locomotor costs.
This regulation established mandatory rules aimed at minimizing or eliminating the negative impacts of power lines facilities on avian populations in and close to natural protected areas in the region.
Assuming that Quetzalcoatlus carried mostly anaerobic muscle in its flight muscle mass, as predicted by Marden [23], and using the maximum power output of anaerobic avian muscle ([67] - a conservative estimate, as other diapsids produce more relative power from anaerobic muscle), the expected maximum range speed under the Witton [24] morphology is 48.3 m/s with a climbout altitude gain of 1 m/s.
Mortality caused by electrocution due to poorly-designed pylons and power lines can seriously affect avian species particularly when population size of the affected species is low or its distribution is limited.
He now works with the American Bird Conservancy protecting birds of prey and other avian species impacted by wind energy installations and associated power lines and towers, but he is still a strong proponent of zoos.
The lack of evidence for positive selection in the avian TLR1A/TLR1B genes may have been due to lack of power with only four sequences to compare, however this was not the case for the four avian TLR2A/TLR2B sequences.
Other studies have found that wind farms are responsible for a variety of bird deaths, but ultimately concluded that their avian death toll is negligible when compared to that of other power plants.
Our identification of positively selected genes on the passerine branch not mentioned in previous studies that used only the zebra finch genome sequence [ 15, 44] demonstrates the extra power this additional passerine sequence provides for investigating wider avian biology.
Pearce-Higgins et al. (2012) highlight that re-powering of turbines, which involves an increase in turbine height, might cause little additional negative effects on avian species and needs to be observed in the future.
