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... -

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... -

Validity of road-based data collected by volunteers for wildlife population m...
A multitude of smart phone and more traditional tools are used with increasing frequency by volunteers on roads for long-term monitoring of wildlife. Data collected by... -
Prioritizing road defragmentation using graph-based tools.
Roads are a main cause of habitat fragmentation but mitigating the full road network is unfeasible. A key goal in the road mitigation planning process is to highlight, at the... -
Road traffic noise impact assessment in a breeding colony of cinereous vultur...
There is a global and growing concern with regard to anthropogenic noise impact on wildlife and natural habitats, but it is difficult to find consensus regarding scoping and... -
