Wildlife roadkills: improving knowledge about ungulate distributions?
Traffic reports (TR) about wildlife-vehicle collisions drafted by traffic safety authorities or the departments of transportation constitute a source of information only rarely... -
Avian roadkills occur regardless of bird evolutionary uniqueness across Europe.
Through an extensive literature review and using a large dataset collected from several European studies, we explored the frequency of occurrence of road bird casualties. First,... -

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... -
