Identification methods and deterministic factors of owl roadkill hotspot loca...
Road fatalities are among the major causes of mortality for Strigiformes species and may affect the population's survival. The use of mitigation strategies must be considered to... -
Human-caused wildfire risk rating for prevention planning in Spain.
This paper identifies human factors associated with high forest fire risk in Spain and analyses the spatial distribution of fire occurrence in the country. The spatial units... -
The impact of river fragmentation on the population persistence of native and...
The genetic diversity of feral and ranch American mink was studied in order to detect gene flux among rivers, investigate the processes of invasion, and determine the possible... -
Global environmental change to and the future of mediterranean forest avifauna.
Santos, T. y Tellería, J.L. Global environmental change to and the future of mediterranean forest avifauna. Global change and Mediterranean-type ecosystems. Nueva York:... -
How do landscape context and fences influence roadkill locations of small and...
Road mortality is the most easily visible effect of roads and traffic on wildlife populations. Mitigation measures such as fences and wildlife passages have been applied to... -
Recent changes in landscape structure and function in a Mediterranean region ...
Changes in landscape patterns are analysed in two areas of southern Spain during the second half of the 20th century. There was a general trend of the human population to... -
Effects of roads on European badger occurrence in intensively used Mediterran...
Understanding how transportation infrastructure affects wildlife is a key goal in conservation biology. This goal is particularly relevant in intensively used landscapes, where... -
Landscape structure and asymmetrical inter-patch connectivity in a metapopula...
Among the factors threatening the Iberian lynx, (Lynx pardinus) (the most endangered species of all the Felidae), loss and fragmentation of its habitats are probably the most... -
Effects of small barriers on habitat use by red deer: implications for conser...
Sánchez-Prieto, C., Carranza, J., Pérez-González, J., Alarcos, S. y Mateos, C. Effects of small barriers on habitat use by red deer: implications for conservation practices.... -
Landscape fragmentation caused by the transport network in Navarra (Spain): t...
Landscape fragmentation caused by the main transport infrastructure network in Navarra (north of Spain) is analysed on both regional and local scales. Regional scale analysis... -
Assessing the relative effect of road- and carcass-related factors on searche...
Carcass counts along roads can notably underestimate the number of wildlife casualties due to several sources of bias, including observers’ inability to detect carcasses during... -
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... -
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... -
Biodiversity and Green infrastructure in Europe: boundary object or ecologica...
The concept of green infrastructure is widely used in environmental planning, but so far it has no standard definition. Planners, conservationists and scientists tend to welcome... -
Vocal response to traffic noise in a non-passerine bird: the little bustard T...
Anthropogenic noise is spreading worldwide and can interfere with the acoustic communication of multiple animal groups. Species communicating in low-frequency ranges (having... -
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... -
Wildlife crossing structures in the mitigation for transportation projects: a...
Wildlife crossing structures are used to mitigate barrier effects and to reduce mortality. Many factors affect their effectivity, including typology, location and maintenance....
