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... -

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.

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... -
Spatio-temporal impacts of roads on the persistence of populations: analytic...
Roads can have drastic impacts on wildlife populations. Although there is wide recognition of the negative impacts caused by roads and a wealth of practical studies, there is a... -
LIFE SAFE-CROSSING: a new international project for preventing large...
The presence of roads has a significant impact on wildlife conservation, since it is as an important cause of direct mortality of individuals as well as a factor of habitat... -
Identification methods and deterministic factors of owl roadkill hotspot...
Road fatalities are among the major causes of mortality for Strigiformes species and may affect the population's survival. The use of mitigation strategies must be considered to... -
