Human footprint and mountain lion territory use in human-dominated landscapes.
This is the first study that combines fine-scale radiotelemetry with landscape light, and road noise and light pollution. Our findings will be of interest for mountain lion... -

Temporal patterns of bird mortality due to road traffic collisions in a Medit...
Capsule: There was significant variation on the incidence of road traffic mortality across bird species, due to seasonal and weather effects but also due to differences between... -
Causas de la rarificación.
Among the causes of mortality of 88 otters, 14 (16%) were due to car casualties. Road casualties seem not to be a relevant factor of otter decrease, but chanelling streams,... -
Relationship between temperature and road traffic noise under actual conditio...
This paper focuses on studying the influence of temperature on the sound pressure level of tire-road noise emission using continuous environmental noise measurements. In situ... -
Methods to monitor and mitigate wildlife mortality in railways.
Recording wildlife mortality on railways is challenging as they have narrow corridors and lower accessibility. To improve mitigation measures, surveys must be systematic and... -
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... -
Effects of direct human disturbance on the endemic Iberian frog Rana iberica ...
There is widespread concern about the global decline of amphibians, but little is known about whether and how direct human disturbance might affect populations. The goal of this... -
The presence of rabbits adjacent to roads increases polecat road mortality.
Road mortality is an increasing problem for terrestrial vertebrate conservation due to the increase of both road numbers and vehicle flow. We hypothesize that the probability of... -
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... -
Large and non-specific bird mortality in a high-speed railway traversing a Sp...
Human activities alter ecosystems where they are built and they frequently shape in the midor long-term their structure and function. Thus, it is essential to know how new... -
Sonic devices effectiveness in keeping wildlife off the road.
Road networks represent a major disturbance for wildlife, and their continued development threat-ens biodiversity. Many mitigation measures show reliable results at reducing... -
An objective approach to select surrogate species for connectivity conservation.
Connected landscapes can increase the effectiveness of protected areas by facilitating individual movement and gene flow between populations, thereby increasing the persistence... -
GDefrag: a graph-based tool to help defragmenting landscapes divided by linea...
Habitat fragmentation is a major biodiversity threat. Linear infrastructures (e.g. roads) hamper the movement of individuals and cause non-natural mortality. Roadkill hotspots... -
How many rodents die on the road? Biological and methodological implications ...
Some small mammal species use road verges as a habitat for sheltering. As a result, their populations suffer mortality from roadkill in an unknown extent. We analysed the road... -
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... -

Distribución y aspectos poblacionales del lobo ibérico (Canis lupus signatus)...
Se estudia la distribución del lobo en la provincia de Lugo (Galicia, NW España). Entre otros aspectos poblacionales también investigaron las causas de mortalidad de 24 lobos... -
Response of vertebrate scavengers to power line and road rights-of-way and it...
Linear infrastructures, such as power lines and roads, are an important source of bird mortality. However, little is known on the potential effect of these infrastructures on... -
Ecohidrología: erosión hídrica y dinámica de la vegetación en laderas artific...
Como se ha señalado en varios apartados de este manual, la inestabilidad geomorfológica tiene efec-tos negativos sobre el éxito de la restauración de las laderas construidas (on...
