We reviewed scientific literature on drone flights conducted to approach wildlife and collated and quantified references to factors that should be considered in the development of guidelines and policies. The most referenced controllable factors were approach distance...

... birds in flight. The first few incidents were initiated by juvenile owls, such that they may not represent actual hunting attacks, but rather play attacks. On 22 September 2012 at 1830 h, a passing Pied Currawong was tail-chased by a juvenile over a distance of about 20 m. Three tail- chases of Sulphur...

... wing beat cycles at the beginning of the experimental period. Encouragement in the form of a food reward (pieces of Mars bar, Cadburys) coupled with repeated short distance (c. 5 m) training flights resulted in the bats quickly developing the capability to fly six lengths of the flight cage (180 m.day...

..., tagged individuals are regularly detected simultaneously on Sensorgnome and Lotek receivers greater than 20 km apart (Mills et al. 2011) suggesting a maximum detection distance of 10-15 km. Long-distance detection is most likely when animals are in flight, well above the ground and in line of sight...

... that move through the water with the current. As a result, the best flight for imaging jellyfish with clarity, and to ensure that individual jellyfish are not captured in multiple images, needs to be calculated based on field observations (Raoult and Gaston 2018; Schaub et al. 2018). For example, Schaub et...

... differences in vocal structures. The structure of calls, or the pulse design (shapes), differs according to the analysis applied to interpret bat signals. However, each bat species is likely to use several shapes to gain information on habitat and prey distance and size. Aldridge and Rautenbach (1987) found...

... Australian vespertilionid P. papuensis has a highly manoeuvrable yet very slow flight, which over long open distances is energetically inefficient and has consequences for habitat fragmentation and vulnerability to predation (Rhodes 1995; Lima and O Keefe 2013). Furthermore, large distances between intact...

... windows measuring 150 mm high × 1270–1330 mm wide. Most of the bats, however, continued to use a 200 mm high × 600 mm wide gap between the top of the grate and the irregularly-shaped cave roof, despite this requiring a more circuitous flight path. The study concluded that the addition of bat windows...

...), such as drones. As this technology has improved in reliability and affordability it has replaced the traditional use of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. Drones do, however, have limitations; primarily in their limited flight duration, potential to disturb wildlife and concerns over safety. Here we introduce...

... by 1988. The last reported sighting of a Ghost Bat in Boodjamulla was in 1993. In view of the absence of sightings, an extensive targeted survey for Ghost Bats was initiated in 2012 in the Riversleigh World Heritage Area and elsewhere in the Boodjamulla National Park (NP). No Ghost Bats were found...

Similar to the initial record, these individuals were captured in upland rainforest at a n elevation of 1080 m, leading to suggestions that the species was confined to upland rainforest in Australia (Winter...
