Predicting wildlife-vehicle collisions using occupancy models.

We suggest using occupancy models in roadkill research assuming occupancy as the probability of individuals using the immediate vicinity of a road section or using it for crossing (roadkill risk); and detectability as the combination of the probability of an individual being hit by a vehicle and, if so, its carcass being detected during a roadkill survey. We used this approach to assess the roadkill risk for a collection of species in Brazil.
