Contrasting wolf responses to different paved roads and traffic volume levels.
In some regions of the world, large carnivores, such as wolves, persist in landscapes with dense networks of paved roads. However, beyond the general impacts of roads on... -
Patterns of carnivore road casualties in Southern Portugal.
We examined spatial patterns of carnivore casualties by counting the number of animals killed on 574 km of national roads and highways in southern Portugal. We surveyed six... -
Seasonal variation in vertebrate traffic casualties and its implications for ...
Wildlife mortality on roads is a global conservation problem. To implement a cost-effective programme of mitigation measures, it is essential to determine spatial and temporal... -
Carnivore abundance near motorways related to prey and roadkills.
Landscape disturbance by roads may increase abundance of prey in verges (i.e., strips of terrain adjacent to roadways) or create other features that can attract carnivores and... -
Green infrastructure, ecosystem services and road network in Spain.
According to EU Strategy, the green infrastructure (GI) is “a strategically planned network of natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental features designed and... -
Do roads act as a barrier to gene flow of subterranean small mammals? A case ...
Road-barrier effects can lead to population isolation, with consequent negative outcomes for individuals and populations. Small mammals have been identified as particularly... -
Response of carnivores to existing highway culverts and underpasses: implicat...
Roads with high traffic volumes are a source of animal mortality, can disrupt normal animal movements and dispersal, and may represent a potentially serious threat to wildlife... -
Distribution of birds in fragments of Mediterranean forests: the role of ecol...
This paper evaluates the role of ecological densities (densities in a given habitat) in predicting the ability of forest passerines to occupy fragments of eight oak Quercus spp.... -
El lobo en Asturias.
Causes of mortality of 73 wolves between 1980 and 1986 were investigated, being road casualties responsible of 1 death (1.4%). Se investigaron las causas de mortalidad de 73... -
Beware that the lack of wildlife mortality records can mask a serious impact ...
Linear infrastructures (e.g. roads, railways or power lines) promote a myriad of negative impacts on wildlife around the world, of which direct mortality is the most visible... -
Impactes das vias rodoviárias na fauna silvestre. Relatório final.
Apresenta-se o relatório final do projecto Avaliar o impacto da mortalidade em populações de vertebrados em estradas do Alto Alentejo, e sua relação com o uso de passagens... -

Internal structure and patterns of contraction in the geographic range of the...
We use reports obtained in a field survey to characterize the internal structure, and to reconstruct the strong contraction in the geographic range of the Iberian lynx Lynx... -
Colisiones entre vehículos y animales de caza mayor. Una aproximación al prob...
Roe deer, red deer and wild boar collisions with cars are examined. 1500-2500 collisions/year in Spain are estimated. The temporal patterns and geographic distribution of... -
Impacto de dos tipos de barreras sobre una población de lobos.
Hemos analizado la influencia de dos tipos de barreras sobre una población de lobos en un área agrícola de Castilla y León. Las barreras son: 1) La autovía A-6, de 4 carriles,... -
