Flight doesn’t solve everything. Mitigation of road impacts on birds.
Roads and traffic are typically more of a threat to the conservation of birds rather than a safety issue for motorists. Some bird species have biological features and life... -
On the identification of mortality hotspots in linear infrastructures.
One of the main tasks when dealing with the impacts of infrastructures on wildlife is to identify hotspots of high mortality so one can devise and implement mitigation measures.... -
Implications for conservation and game management of the roadkill levels of t...
The Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) is an important small game species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula for which the incidence of roadkill is unknown. We surveyed Iberian... -
The ecological effects of linear infrastructure and traffic.
Roads, railways and utility easements are integral components of human society, allowing for the safe and efficient transport of people and goods. There are few places on earth... -

Effects of habitat encroachment by roads on space use and movement patterns o...
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... -
Wildlife crossing structures. An effective strategy to restore or maintain wi...
Context: Wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVC) are one of the major risk factors for the safety of drivers, as well as a great danger to wildlife that moves through the territory.... -

Vertebrate mortality survey in roads of Cartagena (SE Spain). The surveyed roads were located roughly close to the coast. The most affected species were Passer domesticus,... -
Road avoidance responses determine the impact of heterogeneous road networks ...
Barrier effect is a road‐related impact affecting several animal populations. It can be caused by behavioural responses towards roads (surface and/or gap avoidance), associated... -
Assessing landscape functional connectivity in a forest carnivore using path ...
We aimed to evaluate the role of spatial units with different shapes and sizes on road-kill modeling for small vertebrate species. We used the road-kill records of two reptiles,... -
Factors influencing wolf Canis lupus roadkills in Northwest Spain.
Roadkill is one of the most prominent causes of wildlife mortality. Much research effort has focussed on collisions with ungulates because of traffic safety. However, studies... -
Better intelligent systems for mapping amphibian and small bird roadkill.
Roads have multiple effects on wildlife, from animal mortality, habitat and population fragmentation, to modification of animal reproductive behaviour. Monitoring roadkill is... -
