Are protected areas truly protected? The impact of road traffic on vertebrate...
The extension of road networks is considered one of the major factors affecting fauna survival. Roadkill has been documented widely and affects all taxonomic groups. Although... -
Road edge effect on the abundance of the lizard Gallotia galloti (Sauria: Lac...
Transportation infrastructure is a main cause of environmental change in forest landscapes worldwide. In the Canary Islands, a dense road system fragment the native Canarian... -
Carnivore abundance near motorways related to prey and roadkills.
Landscape disturbance by roads may increase abundance of prey in verges (i.e., strips of terrain adjacent to roadways) or create other features that can attract carnivores and... -
Wire marking results in a small but significant reduction in avian mortality ...
Collision with electric power lines is a conservation problem for many bird species. Although the implementation of flight diverters is rapidly increasing, few well-designed... -
Efectos de la fragmentación de hábitats: el papel de las infraestructuras de ...
Changes in land use (changes in crop types, deforestation, reforestation, development, public works, etc.) usually involve the increasing fragmentation of the landscape. As a... -
Vertebrate road-kill patterns in Mediterranean habitats: who, when and where.
Road-kill is the most recognized impact of traffic and an important threat for biodiversity. Nevertheless, most research on this topic deals with particular species or with road... -
Perspectiva histórica de los estudios de impacto ambiental de las carreteras ...
Historical perspective of EIA studies. Until 1991 in Spain only conservationist groups devoted efforts in obtaining data on road impact on vertebrates. Need for a coordination... -
Predictive models for the location of animal-car accidents and their applicab...
Many provinces in Spain are suffering an increasing number of animal-car collisions in the recent years so as to become one of the main issues to the official bodies with... -
Fine-scale determinants of vertebrate roadkills across a biodiversity hotspot...
An increasing number of wildlife-vehicle collisions occur each year worldwide, which involves extensive economic costs and constitutes one of the main anthropogenic causes of... -
On-board video recording unravels bird behavior and mortality produced by hig...
Large high-speed railway (HSR) networks are planned for the near future to accomplish increased transport demand with low energy consumption. However, high-speed trains produce... -
Indicador 46: Número de especies exóticas invasoras
Este indicador tiene como objetivo principal dar a conocer el número de especies exóticas invasoras presentes en el territorio nacional, en concreto las incluidas en el Catálogo... -
Woody colonization of road embankments: a large spatial scale survey in centr...
Planting of woody species is a commonly used method to restore road embankments. Given the importance of road verges as potential corridors and refuge for biodiversity, natural... -
Habitat quality predicts the distribution of a lizard in fragmented woodlands...
Organisms often face a higher risk of local extinction in fragmented than in continuous habitat. However, whether populations are affected by reduced size and connectivity of... -
Influence of anthropogenic noise for predicting cinereous vulture nest distri...
Natural landscapes are increasingly under anthropogenic pressures, and concern about human impacts on wildlife populations is becoming particularly relevant in the case of... -
Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
On a weekly basis, five local and one national roads were surveyed. Moreover, data on other roads were collected. Birds were the most affected taxa (53%. Passer domesticus,... -
Landscape connectivity estimates are affected by spatial resolution, habitat ...
Connectivity assessments and corridor delineation are key contributions to landscape management and biodiversity conservation. We examined the influence of three potentially... -
El efecto barrera en poblaciones de Lobo en Castilla-León.
Between 1997 and 1999 we studied the influence on wolves (Canis lupus) of a four-lane, fenced highway with no specific passes for wildlife in a flat agricultural environment... -
Pérdida y fragmentación del hábitat: efecto sobre la conservación de las espe...
Pérdida y fragmentación del hábitat: efecto sobre la conservación de las especies. -
A review of searcher efficiency and carcass persistence in infrastructure-dri...
Infrastructures in natural areas are expanding rapidly worldwide. Consequently, roads, power-lines, and wind-farms cause millions of fatalities across several animal groups.... -
The effects of a motorway on movement behaviour and gene flow in a forest car...
Roads represent barriers to animal movement due to physical obstruction, mortality, or behavioural avoidance. The population-level consequences of such constraints remain poorly...
