Effects of traffic noise on paserine populations in Mediterranean wooded past...
The effect of traffic noise on the breeding density of 20 passerine species was examined over a 2-year period in three different road types passing through pasture-woodlands in... -
El efecto barrera en poblaciones de Lobo en Castilla-León.
Between 1997 and 1999 we studied the influence on wolves (Canis lupus) of a four-lane, fenced highway with no specific passes for wildlife in a flat agricultural environment... -
Roadsides: an opportunity for biodiversity conservation.
How do roadsides interact with patches of natural vegetation in shaping perennial plant communities in fragmented agricultural areas? Are the observed differences due to the... -
Movement of pond-breeding amphibians in fragmented landscapes: responses of g...
With the increase of transportation system in the world, roads facilitate opportunities for human social and economic development. Roads are also the primary cause of multiple... -
GDefrag: a graph-based tool to help defragmenting landscapes divided by linea...
Habitat fragmentation is a major biodiversity threat. Linear infrastructures (e.g. roads) hamper the movement of individuals and cause non-natural mortality. Roadkill hotspots... -
Mortalidad de la lechuza común (Tyto alba) en España central.
Study of mortality causes of the barn owl (Tyto alba) between 1983 and 1989. The study area included the provinces of Madrid, Toledo, Cuenca, Guadalajara, Ávila and Segovia. A... -
Causes and patterns of human-induced mortality in the Critically Endangered E...
Human intervention is the main cause of the decline of the Critically Endangered European mink Mustela lutreola. In this study we analysed the main causes of direct human-caused... -
Roads and wetlands: can we mitigate the impact of the existing transport netw...
In the Mediterranean area, there is a dense transport network that provides access to urban and tourist areas. This area is also a strategic transport corridor. It includes... -
Can we model distribution of population abundance from wildlife–vehicles coll...
Reliable estimates of the distribution of species abundance are a key element in wildlife studies, but such information is usually difficult to obtain for large spatial or long... -
Roadkill risk and population vulnerability in European birds and mammals.
Roads represent a threat to biodiversity, primarily through increased mortality from collisions with vehicles. Although estimating roadkill rates is an important first step, how... -
Bad moon rising? The influence of the lunar cycle on amphibian roadkills.
Annually, roads, and their associated users, are responsible for millions of roadkills worldwide. Mortality affects multiple taxonomic groups, but amphibians are particularly... -
Are animal-vehicle collisions a random event? – Analysis of the spatial distr...
Ungulate-vehicle collisions (UVC) in Sweden, Catalonia (NE Spain), the Czech republic as well as in many other European countries are an increasing traffic safety issue, causing... -
Metodologías paramétricas para la evaluación ambiental estratégica.
Este artículo refleja lo esencial de una línea de investigación desarrollada por Barcelona Regional, los frutos de la cual son diversos índices socioecológicos en diferentes... -
The Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in the Spanish Pyrenees.
The authors state that infrastructures have hampered the marmot (Marmota marmota) expansion in the Pyrenees. This idea is based on the results of French studies which reported... -
Síntesis de los resultados. La nutria en España en 1994-96 y la evolución de ...
The authors cite examples of small isolated populations of otters which have disappeared in recent years. They highlight the fact that not all dams are barriers, but those which... -

Why do we need crossing structures? An agent based modeling approach.
Road-kill and barrier effect are amongst the most important negative effects of roads. Mammalian carnivores may be particularly vulnerable to these effects given their typical... -
Risks and opportunities for wildlife living in road dominated environments. W...
A Living on the roadside involves serious risks including restrictions to movements, disturbance of resting and feeding places, and roadkill menace. However, when crossing... -
Identification of strategic corridors for restoring landscape connectivity: a...
The conservation or creation of ecological corridors is a key to support species persistence in fragmented landscapes. However, little guidance exists on where to concentrate...
