Roadkill mortality decreases after road inauguration.
The main factors affecting specific road casualty rates are related to life-history traits, road features, and landscape variables. After road inauguration, roadkill rate and... -
Factors influencing predator roadkills: the availability of prey in road verges.
Road mortality is the most noticeable effect of roads on wildlife. Road verges may provide important refuges for small mammals and rabbits, particularly when roads cross... -
Flight doesn’t solve everything. Mitigation of road impacts on birds.
Roads and traffic are typically more of a threat to the conservation of birds rather than a safety issue for motorists. Some bird species have biological features and life... -

Effects of roads on insects: a review.
In the last few decades, mounting evidence points to a negative impact of roads on several groups of animals. Most studies on the effects of roads on animal populations... -
A comparison of Eurasian red squirrel distribution in different fragmented la...
The occurrence of species vulnerable to habitat fragmentation is likely to depend on the size and separation of the fragments. However, the shape of the function that relates... -
Understanding the mechanisms behind road effects: linking occurrence with roa...
Several studies suggest that species' mortality rates are positively related with local population abundances. Because owls have shown both high road mortality rates and road... -
Noise pollution in national parks: soundscape and economic valuation.
In this study a national park soundscape characterisation was contrasted with an economic estimation of the impact of noise pollution on the park visitors’ perception. The main... -
