Effectiveness of wildlife crossing structures and adapted culverts in a highw...
An intensive monitoring was carried out between June and September 2002 in different passage types across a highway in NW Spain in order to determine their use by terrestrial... -
El lobo ibérico. Biología y mitología.
When roads intercept traditional wolf routes, traffic casualties and barrier effect may be responsible of important reductions in wolf population. Cuando las carreteras... -
Carcass persistence and detectability: reducing the uncertainty surrounding w...
Carcass persistence time and detectability are two main sources of uncertainty on roadkill surveys. In this study, we evaluate the influence of these uncertainties on roadkill... -

Mapping and monitoring large mammal underpasses on motorway A29.
In Greece, the brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a priority species listed in Annex II and IV of the EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and thus, it is implied that Member States... -
Avian trait-mediated vulnerability to road traffic collisions.
Collision with vehicles is an important source of bird mortality, but it is uncertain why some species are killed more often than others. Focusing on passerines, we tested... -
Road effects on demographic traits of small mammal populations.
Recent studies have highlighted the positive effects of road verges on the abundance of small mammals. However, most of these studies occurred in intensively grazed or... -

Roadless and low-traffic areas as conservation targets in Europe.
With increasing road encroachment, habitat fragmentation by transport infrastructures has been a serious threat for European biodiversity. Areas with no roads or little traffic... -
How do alien plants distribute along roads on oceanic islands? A case study i...
Islands are paradigms of the pervasive spread of alien plants, but little work has been done assessing pattern and cause of the distribution of such plants in relation to roads... -
A new large-scale index (AcED) for assessing traffic noise disturbance on wil...
Anthropogenic noise is a growing ubiquitous and pervasive pollutant as well as a recognised stressor that spreads throughout natural ecosystems. However, there is still an... -
Effect of weekend road traffic on the use of space by raptors.
The traffic load near large cities may show dramatic cyclical changes induced by weekend tourism, and this could induce cyclical changes in the activity patterns of wildlife. We... -
Should we worry about predator-prey interactions at wildlife crossing structu...
Road and railway construction on a landscape scale entails a transformation of ecosystems, involving changes in their composition, structure and functioning, including... -
La repercusión del tráfico en carreteras sobre las rapaces.
Diurnal raptors use roads to feed on carcasses (victims of traffic as well), while nocturnal raptors use roads mainly to feed on their usual preys. Diurnal raptors are killed on...
