Quantifying the likely effects of offshore wind farms on wildlife is fundamental before permission for development can be granted by any Determining Authority. The effects on marine top predators from displacement from important habitat are key concerns during offshore wind farm construction and operation. In this respect, we present evidence for no significant displacement from a UK offshore wind farm for two broadly distributed species of conservation concern: common guillemot () and harbor porpoise ().

- - The social structure of animal populations is crucial for understanding ecology and biology, influencing genetics, disease spread, and environmental interactions, but nonprimate social structures are under-studied due to challenges in analyzing association patterns.
- - This research utilizes new analytical techniques to investigate the social structure of bottlenose dolphins along the Scottish east coast, identifying distinct communities within the population based on variations in association patterns over time.
- - The findings reveal the dolphins' social organization consists of two primary units with limited interactions, shaped by short-term relationships, showcasing the effectiveness of network analysis in studying social dynamics in animals.
