Edge effects of roads on temperature, light, canopy cover, and canopy height ...
The estimation of the road edge effect is useful to understand changes induced by the road network on ecosystems. Road networks on islands may break ecosystem integrity through... -

Restauración ecológica e infraestructuras de transporte: definiciones, problemas y desafíos. -
The effects of forest fragmentation on butterfly communities in central Spain.
In a mosaic landscape in Guadalajara province (central Spain) butterfly diversity was positively correlated with the area of woodland fragments and negatively correlated with... -

Local plant responses to global problems: Dactylis glomerata responses to different traffic pollutants on roadsides. -
Avian trait-mediated vulnerability to road traffic collisions.
Collision with vehicles is an important source of bird mortality, but it is uncertain why some species are killed more often than others. Focusing on passerines, we tested... -
Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
Collection of data on vertebrate mortality on roads of Cantabria (N Spain). Proportion of deaths among taxa: mammals (50%), birds (38%), reptiles (9%), and amphibians (3%). Most... -
Assessing the risk of extinction for the brown bear (Ursus arctos) in the Cor...
Mostly theoretical modelling of the survival possibilities of the Cantabrian brown bear population. -
Aves y carreteras: un problema de difícil solución.
Data on bird road kills were recorded in transects of selected busy roads, along with occasional data collected in other roads. All bird groups known to be present were affected... -
El efecto barrera en vertebrados. Medidas correctoras en las vías de comunica...
The authors compile a broad array of structures to mitigate the barrier effect by infrastructures on vertebrates. This book has an introductory part in which the main effects of... -
Temporal pattern of wild ungulate-related traffic accidents in northwest Spain.
Wildlife-related accidents are a serious problem in different countries and describing their temporal pattern allows for the development of measures to mitigate them. We... -
Key connectors in protected forest area networks and the impact of highways: ...
The connectivity of protected area networks depends on key elements located in strategic positions within the landscape, which uphold the ecological fluxes and sustain the... -
Dogs are the main species involved in animal-vehicle collisions in southern S...
Animal-vehicle collisions have become a serious traffic safety issue. Collisions have steadily increased over the last few decades, as have their associated socio-economic... -
Major roads have a negative impact on the tawny owl Strix aluco and the littl...
The increasing road networks threaten ecosystems by direct effects such as increased mortality due to collision with vehicles and by various indirect effects leading to road... -

The distribution of vertebrate roadkill varies by season, surrounding environment, and animal class. -
Species or group of species to predict roadkill likelihood?
Roadkill likelihood using either species or group of species does not reach to same results. Spatial, climatic, and temporal patterns are consistent within the class Reptilia.... -
Clamoring for quiet: new ways to mitigate noise.
On a typical day in an American suburb, the steady whoosh of traffic on a nearby freeway drowns out the rustling of leaves in the wind. From across the street comes the nagging... -
