Preventing wildlife roadkill can offset mitigation investments in short-medium term.
Wildlife vehicle collisions (WVC) are a threat to wildlife and humans, killing millions of animals of numerous species, as well as causing significant damage to vehicles,... -
Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las...
Se prospectaron seis transectos con periodicidad mensual en tres biotopos de la provincia de Córdoba (S España). Se localizó un punto negro de atropellos de anfibios cerca de... -
El lobo ibérico. Biología y mitología.
Cuando las carreteras interceptan rutas tradicionales del lobo, los atropellos y el efecto barrera puede ser el responsable de una importante reducción en la población lobera.... -
Tree species composition and structure near road borders in the laurel...
Urbanization is one of the main causes of species extinction. Closely linked to urbanization are road systems, which are a source of biotic and abiotic effects on the... -
La mortalidad de anfibios y reptiles en las carreteras.
Se examinaron los atropellos de reptiles y anfibios. Los atropellos de anfibios se producen a menudo como consecuencia del comportamiento migratorio durante la época de... -

Influence of landscape factors on amphibian roadkills at the national level.
Roads exert multiple effects on wildlife, from animal mortality, habitat and population fragmentation, to modification of animal reproductive behaviour. Amphibians are the most... -
Importance of roadside habitats for biodiversity: what do we know?
In an ever-expanding world, impacts of human activity on the global environment are inevitable. The construction of roads and other linear transport infrastructure leads not... -
Cross-scale changes in bird behavior around a high speed railway: from...
Large-scale transportation infrastructures, such as high-speed railway (HSR) systems, cause changes in surrounding ecosystems, thus generating direct and indirect impacts on... -
Edges of natural vegetation to increase the diversity of wild bees in...
The transformation of natural ecosystems by the intensification of agriculture has negative effects on bee communities. “Operation Pollinator” aims to increase field diversity... -
On the identification of high mortality rate hotspots.
One of the main tasks in road ecology is to identify hotspots of high mortality so that one can devise and implement mitigation measures. A common strategy to identify hotspots... -
Are largescale citizen science data precise enough to determine roadkill patterns?
Roads are one of the most transforming linear infrastructures in human-dominated landscapes, with animal road-kills as their most studied impact. Therefore, there is the need to... -
Living on the verge: are roads a more suitable refuge for small mammals than streams?
Retaining natural remnant corridors of habitat is a useful and practical conservation tool, which can attenuate the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on wildlife. By... -

Predicting wildlife-vehicle collisions using occupancy models.
We suggest using occupancy models in roadkill research assuming occupancy as the probability of individuals using the immediate vicinity of a road section or using it for...
