Response of vertebrate scavengers to power line and road rights-of-way and it...
Linear infrastructures, such as power lines and roads, are an important source of bird mortality. However, little is known on the potential effect of these infrastructures on... -
Bird community structure and species responses to edges in laurel forest frag...
We examined interacting effects of habitat structure, topographic landscape, road edge and vehicle traffic (density and noise), on bird species composition, abundance and... -
Carnivores cross irrigation canals more often through overpasses than through...
As rainfall becomes scarcer or more erratic, we rely more on irrigation systems for agricultural and human water provision. Impacts of irrigation canals such as the barrier... -

Are protected areas truly protected? The impact of road traffic on vertebrate...
The extension of road networks is considered one of the major factors affecting fauna survival. Roadkill has been documented widely and affects all taxonomic groups. Although... -
Nightjars, rabbits, and foxes interact on unpaved roads: spatial use of a sec...
Linear developments, such as roads and firebreaks, can increase encounter rates between predator and prey, which could affect predator–prey interactions and community dynamics.... -
Uncapped tubular poles along high-speed railway lines act as pitfall traps fo...
Man-made ecosystems, such as those associated with transport infrastructure, are common worldwide, offering both opportunities and risks to wildlife. Thus, it is essential to... -
Roads as overlooked drivers of change in bird communities.
Road networks are expanding globally, promoting numerous impacts on biodiversity, resulting in important changes in species occurrence patterns, but there is still a lack of... -
On the identification of mortality hotspots in linear infrastructures.
One of the main tasks when dealing with the impacts of infrastructures on wildlife is to identify hotspots of high mortality so one can devise and implement mitigation measures.... -
