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... -
Bringing science and technology together: Real-time road signs based on tempo...
Numerous types of mitigation measures aimed at reducing animal-vehicle collisions (AVC) are available. These measures are oriented both to the driver and the animal and show... -
Behavioural responses to changing landscapes: Flock structure and anti-predat...
We analysed the effects of forest fragmentation on the flock structure of insectivorous forest passerines (Parus, Aegithalos, Certhia, Regulus, etc.), and on the anti-predator... -
Distributional patterns of endemic, native and alien species along a roadside...
Invasion by alien plant species may be rapid and aggressive, causing erosion of local biodiversity. This is particularly true for islands, where natural and anthropogenic... -
Maintenance of ecological assets on transport linear infrastructure.
Rosell, C., Torrellas, M., Colomer, J., Reck, H., Navàs, F. y Bil, M. Maintenance of ecological assets on transport linear infrastructure. CEDR: Wildlife and Traffic. [s.l.]:... -
Validation data is needed to support modelling in road ecology.
Roads and other linear transportation infrastructures are among the most ubiquitous human-made features on the globe, causing several pernicious negative effects on biodiversity... -
Transport infrastructure shapes foraging habitat in a raptor community.
Transport infrastructure elements are widespread and increasing in size and length in many countries, with the subsequent alteration of landscapes and wildlife communities.... -
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... -
Infrastructure features outperform environmental variables explaining rabbit ...
Human disturbance is widespread across landscapes in the form of roads that alter wildlife populations. Knowing which road features are responsible for the species response and... -
Indices for the spatial assessment of road and traffic impacts on ecosystems.
The increase in roads and traffic through the last century has caused extensive fragmentation of the landscape affecting biodiversity and ecosystem function. Subsequent changes... -
Surveying drainage culvert use by carnivores: sampling design and cost-benefi...
Environmental assessment studies often evaluate the effectiveness of drainage culverts as habitat linkages for species, however, the efficiency of the sampling designs and the... -
Predicting wildlife road-crossing probability from roadkill data using occupa...
Wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) represent a major threat for wildlife and understanding how WVC spatial patterns relate to surrounding land cover can provide valuable... -

Intelligent systems for mapping amphibian mortality on Portuguese roads.
Roads have multiple effects on wildlife, from animal mortality, habitat and population fragmentation, to modification of animal reproductive behavior. Amphibians in particular,... -
Mortalidad del jabalí (Sus scrofa) en carreteras de la provincia de Salamanca...
El Jabalí (Sus scrofa), es el ungulado silvestre de mayor incidencia en las carreteras de la provincia de Salamanca, soportando el 33, 5% del total de atropellos sobre mamíferos... -
El lobo en Castilla-León.
Causes of mortality of 284 wolves between 1986 and 1988 were investigated, road casualties being responsible for 5.6% of deaths. Se investigaron las causas de mortalidad de 284... -
Efecto barrera inducido por una autovía sobre las poblaciones de grandes mamí...
The situation of wolf population in an area affected by the construction of a motorway is studied. Since well established populations of wolf, roe deer and wild boar are located... -
Impacto de las carreteras sobre la fauna.
Example of barrier effects in France. When roads are accessible to animals, they represent a serious danger for both car drivers and themselves. Amphibians carcasses can lead to... -
