Road encroachment mediates species occupancy, trait filtering and dissimilari...
Assessing the road effects on biodiversity is challenging because impacts may depend on both wildlife responses to roads and on the spatial arrangement of roads. We questioned... -

Railways as barriers for wildlife: current knowledge.
In this chapter we provide practical suggestions, together with examples, to identify, monitor and mitigate railway barrier effects on wildlife, as this is considered one of the... -
The impact of river fragmentation on the population persistence of native and...
The genetic diversity of feral and ranch American mink was studied in order to detect gene flux among rivers, investigate the processes of invasion, and determine the possible... -
Movement re-established but not restored: inferring the effectiveness of road...
Wildlife crossing structures are commonly used to mitigate the barrier and mortality impacts of roads on wildlife. For arboreal mammals, canopy bridges, glider poles and... -
Are largescale citizen science data precise enough to determine roadkill patt...
Roads are one of the most transforming linear infrastructures in human-dominated landscapes, with animal road-kills as their most studied impact. Therefore, there is the need to... -

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... -

Species-specific movement traits and specialization determine the spatial res...
The barrier effect is a pervasive impact of road networks. For many small mammals individual avoidance responses can be the mechanism behind the barrier effect. However, little... -
The responses of leaf litter invertebrates to environmental gradients along r...
Knowledge of how roads affect forest biodiversity can be improved by measuring the responses of indicator species to complex environmental gradients caused by these... -
Inappropriate tourist behavior in protected areas can lead to wildlife road-k...
Tourism in protected areas is increasingly important to the economy of environmentally vulnerable countries. However, when pursuing sustainable tourism in protected areas,... -

Recent changes in landscape structure and function in a Mediterranean region ...
Changes in landscape patterns are analysed in two areas of southern Spain during the second half of the 20th century. There was a general trend of the human population to... -
Behavioral responses of the European mink in the face of different threats: c...
Prey species assess the risk of threat using visual, olfactory, and acoustic cues from their habitat. Thus, they modify their behavior in order to avoid encounters with... -
The lost road: do transportation networks imperil wildlife population persist...
The global road network is rapidly growing associated with human economic development. This growth also entails a high toll for biodiversity, with several well-documented... -
Testing wild plants seed mixtures along grey infrastructures.
Linear infrastructures, like roads and railways, exist all around the world and spread throughout a great variety of environments. Despite their known negative impacts, these... -
An approach to road networks and soundscapes.
Roads and traffic are the most important source of noise in the environment. Moreover, much research effort has been aimed to identify and to quantify road impacts on animal...
