Road barrier effect is among the foremost negative impacts of roads on wildlife. Knowledge of the factors responsible for the road barrier effect is crucial to understand and... -
Do dry ledges reduce the barrier effect of roads?
Wildlife crossing structures combined with fencing seek to improve permeability and habitat connectivity across roads and reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. However, the... -
Roads as drivers of population spreading: the case study of bee-eaters in Doñ...
In this study, we found that bee-eaters spread to theoretically suboptimal habitats to excavate their nests and colonize new areas. Studying this possible life strategy that can... -
Assessing road effects on bats. The role of landscape, road features and bat ...
Recent studies suggest that the damage caused by roads on bats may significantly affect bat populations. However, despite bats being one of the most threatened groups of... -
Towards effective culvert design: monitoring seasonal use and behavior by Med...
Drainage culverts are known to be used by a diverse number of species. To date, most studies looking at culvert usage have been restricted to the dry season. This seasonal bias... -
