The Cabrera vole (Microtus cabrerae) is a rare Iberian endemism, classified as “Near-threatened” by IUCN, and “Vulnerable” in Portugal and Spain. The species has a restricted... -
Impact of culvert flooding on carnivore crossings.
Along many roads worldwide, drainage culverts are the only structures wildlife can safely use to cross. However, culverts inundate and can become unavailable to terrestrial... -
The lost road: do transportation networks imperil wildlife population persist...
The global road network is rapidly growing associated with human economic development. This growth also entails a high toll for biodiversity, with several well-documented... -
Road mortality of the little owl (Athene noctua) in Spain.
Causes of little owl road mortality were investigated, based on 418 road casualties and their relation to road characteristics and roadside cover. Road casualties are the most... -
Soil development at the roadside: a case study of a novel ecosystem.
Over the last few decades, road construction has increased dramatically, and new surfaces have appeared in most landscapes. Standard roadside reclamation practices often fail,... -
Noise pollution mapping approach and accuracy on landscape scales.
Noise mapping allows the characterization of environmental variables, such as noise pollution or soundscape, depending on the task. Strategic noise mapping (as per Directive... -

Behavioral responses of the European mink in the face of different threats: c...
Prey species assess the risk of threat using visual, olfactory, and acoustic cues from their habitat. Thus, they modify their behavior in order to avoid encounters with... -
Comparing annual vertebrate road kills over two time periods, 9 years apart: ...
We surveyed road kills occurring along a 26-km stretch of a major national road (Portugal) in two different years: 1996 and 2005. For analysis purposes, we divided the data into... -
