Spatial patterns of road mortality of medium–large mammals in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

Context Brazil has one of the richest biodiversity and one of the most extensive road networks in the world. Several negative impacts emerge from this interaction, including wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVC), which may represent a significant source of non-natural mortality in several species. The understanding of the main drivers of WVC is, therefore, crucial to improve the safe coexistence between human needs (transportation of goods and people) and animal populations. Aims We aimed to (1) evaluate the relative influence of land-cover patterns on the distribution of WVC, (2) assess whether WVCs are clustered forming hotspots of mortality, and, if so, (3) evaluate the benefits of mitigating only hotspot sections. Methods We collected WVC data involving medium–large mammals (4–260kg) along three road transects (920km), fortnightly over 1 year (n=1006 records). We used boosted regression trees to relate the … Palabras clave: Mammal, Mortality
