Seabird mortality induced by land‐based artificial lights.
Artificial lights at night cause high mortality of seabirds, one of the most endangered groups of birds globally. Fledglings of burrow‐nesting seabirds, and to a lesser extent... -
Spatio-temporal changes of road traffic noise pollution at ecoregional scale.
Noise pollution is a pervasive factor that increasingly threatens natural resources and human health worldwide. In particular, large-scale changes in road networks have driven... -
Understanding animal-road interactions for proper mitigation: stopping the re...
The Brazil’s Cerrado support the largest remaining populations of Giant anteaters. However, today this biome is being heavily fragmented by an ever-increasing road network, and... -
Effects of roads on European badger occurrence in intensively used Mediterran...
Understanding how transportation infrastructure affects wildlife is a key goal in conservation biology. This goal is particularly relevant in intensively used landscapes, where... -
Informe de los atropellos de rapaces nocturnas.
Usage of roads by nocturnal raptors is explained by several factors. Small mammal density is higher close to roads. In winter small mammals gather in places with natural... -
Using remote-sensing to map suitable road verges for a rare small mammal, the...
The Cabrera vole (Microtus cabrerae) is a rare Iberian endemism, classified as “Near-threatened” by IUCN, and “Vulnerable” in Portugal and Spain. The species has a restricted... -
Factors affecting mortality of shearwaters stranded by light pollution.
Every year and across the world, thousands of fledglings of different petrel species crash into human structures because they are disorientated by artificial lights during their... -
Improvements in high-speed rail network environmental evaluation and planning...
High Speed Rail (HSR) in Spain began in 1992 and curently has a network of about 3400 km. In this 25-year period, accessibility has progressively increased, and its spatial... -
Influence of anthropogenic noise for predicting cinereous vulture nest distri...
Natural landscapes are increasingly under anthropogenic pressures, and concern about human impacts on wildlife populations is becoming particularly relevant in the case of... -
Global impact of roads on carnivores: which species and where?
Carnivores have life histories that can render them susceptible to roads, such as low population growth rates and great mobility. However, little is known about the effect of... -
Modeling the impact of road mortality on barn owl (Tyto alba) populations usi...
Road mortality affects natural populations worldwide. Although the effects of road mortality are often documented, studies assessing the impact of road mortality on the... -
Habitat fragmentation affects culture transmission: patterns of song matching...
1 Males of many bird species match song with neighbours during territorial interactions. Although bird vocal mimicry has received much attention, the relationships between song... -
Biodiversity and Green infrastructure in Europe: boundary object or ecologica...
The concept of green infrastructure is widely used in environmental planning, but so far it has no standard definition. Planners, conservationists and scientists tend to welcome... -
Can we model wolf-vehicle collisions? Using a logistic model with corrections...
The studies about large carnivore road-kills are scarce despite this being one of the main causes of mortality. This absence can be explained partly because of difficulties in... -
Facilitating permeability of landscapes impacted by roads for protected amphi...
Amphibian populations are highly vulnerable to road mortality and habitat fragmentation caused by road networks. Wildlife road tunnels are considered the most promising road... -

Incidencia de las carreteras en las poblaciones de lobos en Castilla y León.
In Castilla-León region 4.6% of wolf mortality is due to road casualties. They take place mainly on roads close to rubbish dumps and on those allowing high vehicle speed. More... -

Ecología del lobo en la Cabrera (León) y la Carballeda (Zamora).
This paper gives the data on the ecology of six radiotracked wolves studied in north Zamora and south León (NW Spain) between 1988 and 1990. Diet, activity, use of the habitat,... -
Landscape structure and asymmetrical inter-patch connectivity in a metapopula...
Among the factors threatening the Iberian lynx, (Lynx pardinus) (the most endangered species of all the Felidae), loss and fragmentation of its habitats are probably the most...
