Memoria anual de actividades y resultados.Parque Nacional de Doñana. 1994
A principios de agosto comenzó la construcción de 2 pasos a desnivel para fauna sobre la carretera comarcal H-612, situados en las proximidades de la Laguna de la Soriana y la... -
Mainstreaming biodiversity in transport infrastructure management in the...
Biodiversity objects are to date almost absent from the BIM world. Developing the biodiversity theme in the BIM environment offers unexplored research opportunities with strong... -
Distributional patterns of insectivorous passerines in the iberian forests:...
Distributional patterns of insectivorous passerines in the iberian forests: does abundance decrease near the border? Palabras clave: Bird, Forest -
Environmental and traffic-related factors determining wildlife road-kills...
This is the first study focusing on the roadkill of large vertebrates in Mediterranean environments, entailing relevant implications for road safety in this relatively... -
General versus specific surveys: estimating the suitability of different...
The use of wildlife road‐crossing structures (WCS hereafter) is less monitored for small mammals than for more emblematic species. Furthermore, because of the undeniable... -
The influence of traffic noise on vertebrate road crossing through underpasses.
Noise produces multiple effects on ecosystems and it influences habitat use by vertebrates near roads. Thus, it may reduce the effectiveness of mitigation measures installed on... -
Estudio bionómico de la nutria (Lutra lutra L., 1758) en aguas continentales...
Se investigaron las causas de mortalidad de 54 nutrias en el Noroeste de la Península Ibérica. Los datos se refieren a dos períodos: 1950-1980 y 1981-1993. Los atropellos... -
Habitat selection of the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) in cereal steppes...
Habitat selection of the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) in cereal steppes of Central Spain. Palabras clave: Arable land, Habitat, Mouse -
Factors influencing vertebrate carcasses retention time on roads: a...
Monitoring vertebrate roadkills is a task increasingly done in the last decades in order to better evaluate the impact of roads on wildlife. However, these studies usually... -
Road verges are refuges for small mammal populations in extensively managed...
Understanding how roads affect the persistence of animal populations is one of the challenges of road ecology. Small mammals are of great interest on account of their value as... -
Testing wild plants seed mixtures along grey infrastructures.
Linear infrastructures, like roads and railways, exist all around the world and spread throughout a great variety of environments. Despite their known negative impacts, these... -
Spatial patterns of road kills: a case study in Southern Portugal.
Roads promote high levels of animal-vehicle collisions and have one of the most visible man-made impacts on wildlife. In Portugal, SW Europe, very few ecological studies have... -
Transportation planning and quiet natural areas preservation: aircraft...
Global transportation growth causes several disproportionate impacts on the environment as, for instance, noise pollution which is related to negative effects on human health... -
Assessing the consistency of hotspot and hot-moment patterns of wildlife...
Spatial and temporal aggregation patterns of wildlife-vehicle collisions are recurrently used to inform where and when mitigation measures are most needed. The aim of this study... -
Overcoming the barrier effect of roads - How effective are mitigation strategies?
Roads, railways and other linear infrastructure are pervasive components of most landscapes throughout the world. Combined with the effect of vehicles, they have the potential... -
Spatial analysis of amphibian road mortality levels in northern Portugal...
Animal mortality caused by vehicle collisions is one of the main ecological impacts of roads. Amphibians are the most affected group and road fatalities have a significant... -
Mechanisms underlying the road effects on owls: move towards mitigation.
The negative effects of roads on wildlife are recognized as important contributors to the global biodiversity crisis but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, a... -
Las infraestructuras lineales y su efecto barrera sobre los vertebrados.
Revisión del efecto barrera de una infraestructura (en sentido amplio, incluyendo carreteras, vías de tren, líneas eléctricas, presas, y canales) sobre vertebrados con una... -
Maintenance of ecological asset on transport infrastructure: new chapter in...
Long-term preservation of the functions of ecological assets in transportation infrastructure requires new multidisciplinary approaches in traditional road and railway operation... -
Global impact of roads on carnivores: which species and where?
Carnivores have life histories that can render them susceptible to roads, such as low population growth rates and great mobility. However, little is known about the effect of...
