Potential hotspots of amphibian roadkill risk in Spain.
We test a forecasting strategy to identify potential hotspots of amphibian roadkill, combining the spatial distribution of amphibians, their relative risk of collision with... -
Road and traffic factors correlated to wildlife–vehicle collisions in Galicia...
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... -

Towards next level in Road Ecology: from counting road-kills to assessing pop...
Roads are currently one of the main attributes of human-dominated ecosystems. Aimed to improve the socio-economic conditions of local communities, the global road network is... -
Bird roadkill occurences in Aragon, Spain.
Bird roadkill occurences in Aragon, Spain. The increase in road networks and vehicular traffic has posed a major threat to vertebrates over the last century. Although it is... -
How many rodents die on the road? Biological and methodological implications ...
Some small mammal species use road verges as a habitat for sheltering. As a result, their populations suffer mortality from roadkill in an unknown extent. We analysed the road... -
Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
On a weekly basis, five local and one national roads were surveyed. Moreover, data on other roads were collected. Birds were the most affected taxa (53%. Passer domesticus,... -
Factors determining roadkills in a mammal carnivore are road type specific.
Carnivores are one of the most affected taxa by roadkill of their high mobility searching for food, mate or territory. We compared 85 polecat roadkills in highways with 73... -
Ungulate: vehicle collision rates are associated with the phase of the moon.
The phase of the moon can affect activity patterns of nocturnal animals, and may also affect visibility for motorists. However, surprisingly little is known about whether the... -

Spatial and species‐level predictions of road mortality risk using trait data.
Aim Collisions between wildlife and vehicles are recognized as one of the major causes of mortality for many species. Empirical estimates of road mortality show that some... -
Can we mitigate animal–vehicle accidents using predictive models?
Vehicle collisions with wild animals are a serious problem that justifies the widespread application of mitigation measures such as road fencing and provision of crossing... -
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... -
Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
One local road (C-344 Arcos-El Bosque-Grazalema) and one national road (N-342 Jerez-Arcos-Bornos; S Spain) were exhaustively surveyed, along with lighter surveys of most of the...
