Mainstreaming biodiversity in transport infrastructure management thanks to s...
Biodiversity and transport sectors use data and tools for specific purposes which can often be mutualised offering opportunities for costefficient improvement of transport... -
How long do the dead survive on the road? Carcass persistence probability and...
Background Road mortality is probably the best-known and visible impact of roads upon wildlife. Although several factors influence road-kill counts, carcass persistence time is... -
Mortalidad de vertebrados en el tramo Ourense-Penalba de la CN-120 durante 1989.
Mortality rates of vertebrate groups in one brand new national road in Orense province (NW Spain). A 17-km stretch was surveyed by foot on a weekly basis with the aim to assess... -
A road mobile mapping device for supervised classification of amphibians on r...
We present the classification results of a supervised algorithm of road images containing amphibians. We used a prototype of a mobile mapping system composed of a scanning... -
Effectiveness of an anti-bird strike tubular screen in a high-speed railway.
A High speed trains run at speeds over 250 km/h, and birds which coincide in their trajectories are thus unable to avoid crashing or being affected by turbulence provoked by... -

Influencia de los nuevos cultivos en regadío sobre las colisiones de vehículos con jabalí (Sus scrofa) en el Noroeste de España Las poblaciones de jabalí han aumentado en número... -
Mixed sampling protocols improve the cost-effectiveness of roadkill surveys.
Road mortality due to animal vehicle collisions has serious negative effects on population viability, demanding urgent implementation of mitigation measures where most required.... -
Individual spatial responses towards roads: implications for mortality risk.
Background Understanding the ecological consequences of roads and developing ways to mitigate their negative effects has become an important goal for many conservation... -

Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
Several local and national roads as well as two highways were surveyed, being birds (37%) and amphibians (37%) the most affected taxa. Species were run over depending on their... -
Magnitude, composition and spatiotemporal patterns of vertebrate roadkill at ...
Although roadkill studies on a large scale are challenging, they can provide valuable information to assess the impact of road traffic on animal populations. Over 22 months... -
