The influence of site factors and proximity of adjacent vegetation on tree re...
Many studies have shown evidence of very rapid natural colonization of trees on roadslopes. Tree colonization on roadslopes can be a useful tool in the ecological restoration of... -
Foraging, feeding, and physiological stress responses of wild wood mice to in...
In nature, animals are exposed to a broad range of threats imposed by predators, which may strongly influence the ecology of prey species directly or indirectly by affecting... -
Assessing behaviour states of a forest carnivore in a road-dominated landscap...
Anthropogenic infrastructures and land-use changes are major threats to animal movements across heterogeneous landscapes. Yet, the behavioural consequences of such constraints... -
Reply: Modeling scenarios of population response to roads as a conservation r...
Wildlife is under increasing pressure from environmental change, including habitat loss and fragmentation with increasing additional non-natural mortality due to roads. To... -
El lobo en España: una visión global.
Data on 812 human-related dead wolves in Spain until 1987 were collected: 4.6% of them were run over, being road kills the 4th cause of mortality among the 6 detected. Se... -
Evidence of use of road drainage culverts by Timon lepidus (Daudin, 1802) in ...
Use of road drainage structures and other potential underpasses such as culverts by reptiles is scarcely studied. We present photographic evidence of Ocellated lizards (Timon... -

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... -
Forest management effects on nesting habitat selected by eurasian black vultu...
They studied two recently established colonies of Eurasian Black Vultures (Aegypius monachus). One was located in an abandoned maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) plantation formerly... -
Infrastructure features outperform environmental variables explaining rabbit ...
Human disturbance is widespread across landscapes in the form of roads that alter wildlife populations. Knowing which road features are responsible for the species response and... -
Spatial patterns of road kills: a case study in Southern Portugal.
Roads promote high levels of animal-vehicle collisions and have one of the most visible man-made impacts on wildlife. In Portugal, SW Europe, very few ecological studies have... -
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,... -
Mitigation measures to reduce impacts on biodiversity.
Roads and traffic impact wildlife in a variety of ways. In some animal populations, they enhance mortality, limit mobility, fragment populations, and decrease... -
Clamoring for quiet: new ways to mitigate noise.
On a typical day in an American suburb, the steady whoosh of traffic on a nearby freeway drowns out the rustling of leaves in the wind. From across the street comes the nagging... -
Vegetation response after removal of the invasive Carpobrotus hybrid complex ...
We evaluated the ecological success of the manual removal of Carpobrotus species, a putative hybrid complex of a South African perennial mat-forming plant, by comparing treated,... -

Understanding the mechanisms behind road effects: linking occurrence with roa...
Several studies suggest that species' mortality rates are positively related with local population abundances. Because owls have shown both high road mortality rates and road... -
Spatiotemporal persistence of bat roadkill hotspots in response to dynamics o...
Wildlife roadkill hotspots are frequently used to identify priority locations for implementing mitigation measures. However, understanding the landscape-context and the spatial...
