An objective approach to select surrogate species for connectivity conservation.
Connected landscapes can increase the effectiveness of protected areas by facilitating individual movement and gene flow between populations, thereby increasing the persistence... -
Sonic devices effectiveness in keeping wildlife off the road.
Road networks represent a major disturbance for wildlife, and their continued development threat-ens biodiversity. Many mitigation measures show reliable results at reducing... -
Large and non-specific bird mortality in a high-speed railway traversing a...
Human activities alter ecosystems where they are built and they frequently shape in the midor long-term their structure and function. Thus, it is essential to know how new... -
Effects of habitat encroachment by roads on space use and movement patterns...
Roads are a significant cause of habitat fragmentation and a barrier to movement of several species across the world. Terrestrial species with low mobility, low abundance and... -
The presence of rabbits adjacent to roads increases polecat road mortality.
Road mortality is an increasing problem for terrestrial vertebrate conservation due to the increase of both road numbers and vehicle flow. We hypothesize that the probability of... -
Effects of direct human disturbance on the endemic Iberian frog Rana iberica...
There is widespread concern about the global decline of amphibians, but little is known about whether and how direct human disturbance might affect populations. The goal of this... -
Spanish national inventory on road mortality of vertebrates.
The authors promoted a national-level survey on road mortality of vertebrate in Spain, on a monthly basis between 1991-1994. More than 43,000 vertebrates belonging to 303 taxa... -
Methods to monitor and mitigate wildlife mortality in railways.
Recording wildlife mortality on railways is challenging as they have narrow corridors and lower accessibility. To improve mitigation measures, surveys must be systematic and... -
Relationship between temperature and road traffic noise under actual...
This paper focuses on studying the influence of temperature on the sound pressure level of tire-road noise emission using continuous environmental noise measurements. In situ... -
Causas de la rarificación.
Entre las causas de la mortalidad de 88 ejemplares de nutria (Lutra lutra), 14 (16%) fueron debidas a los atropellos. Los atropellos no parecen ser un factor importante en el... -
Temporal patterns of bird mortality due to road traffic collisions in a...
There was significant variation on the incidence of road traffic mortality across bird species, due to seasonal and weather effects but also due to differences between years. To... -

Human footprint and mountain lion territory use in human-dominated landscapes.
This is the first study that combines fine-scale radiotelemetry with landscape light, and road noise and light pollution. Our findings will be of interest for mountain lion... -

The influence of site factors and proximity of adjacent vegetation on tree...
Many studies have shown evidence of very rapid natural colonization of trees on roadslopes. Tree colonization on roadslopes can be a useful tool in the ecological restoration of... -

The risk of being hungry: influence of prey availability in verges on...
Road verges may provide important refuges for small fauna, particularly when roads cross intensive agricultural or grazed landscapes. In these circumstances, the increasing use... -
Synergies between forest biomass extraction for bioenergy and fire...
Increases in fire impacts over many regions of the world have led to large-scale investments in fire suppression efforts. There is increasing recognition that biomass extraction...
