On the identification of high mortality rate hotspots.
One of the main tasks in road ecology is to identify hotspots of high mortality so that one can devise and implement mitigation measures. A common strategy to identify hotspots... -
The role of remote sensing data in habitat suitability and connectivity model...
Ecological modeling requires sufficient spatial resolution and a careful selection of environmental variables to achieve good predictive performance. Although national and... -
Rates and causes of mortality in a fragmented population of Iberian lynx Feli...
In this work 29 Iberian lynx deaths are reported, 21% of which were caused by vehicles in a road bordering the western side of the Doñana National Park. This high mortality rate... -
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... -
Why do we need crossing structures? An agent based modeling approach.
Road-kill and barrier effect are amongst the most important negative effects of roads. Mammalian carnivores may be particularly vulnerable to these effects given their typical... -
Utilització dels nous hábitats associats a l’obertura de l’eix de Vallvidrera...
This article is the result of a study carried out in Vallvidrera motorway between 1990-1993. The authors analyse the use that birds are doing of the new habitats associated to... -
Mortalidad de vertebrados en el tramo Ourense-Penalba de la CN-120 durante 1989.
Mortality rates of vertebrate groups in one brand new national road in Orense province (NW Spain). A 17-km stretch was surveyed by foot on a weekly basis with the aim to assess... -
Soil development at the roadside: a case study of a novel ecosystem.
Over the last few decades, road construction has increased dramatically, and new surfaces have appeared in most landscapes. Standard roadside reclamation practices often fail,... -
Assessing highway permeability for the restoration of landscape connectivity ...
Some highways were built in the Basque country before environmental impact assessment processes required the implementation of wildlife crossing structures. Some highway sectors... -
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... -
Mortalidad de vertebrados por atropello en las riberas del Miño en Orense.
Vertebrate mortality due to car collision is investigated in two roads: a 12-km stretch in a 40-year old road (OR-402) and a 17-km stretch in a one-year old road (CN-120) close... -
Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
Preliminary frequencies of vertebrate casualties in Toledo province (central Spain): mammals (61%), birds (35%), amphibians (2%), and reptiles (1%). Frecuencias preliminares de... -
Habitat quality predicts the distribution of a lizard in fragmented woodlands...
Organisms often face a higher risk of local extinction in fragmented than in continuous habitat. However, whether populations are affected by reduced size and connectivity of... -
Auditing and control programs: putting EIA recommendations for ecological imp...
If we examine the EIA process in different countries, it seems that it is linked to a previous phase of discussion of projects, through the administrative process.This previous... -
Exploring species attributes and site characteristics to assess plant invasio...
Aim Biological invasions are a major component of global change with increasing effects on natural ecosystems and human societies. Here, we aim to assess the relationship... -
Características que determinan la permeabilidad de las grandes infrastructura...
El acondicionamiento de drenajes y otras estructuras transversales para que puedan ser utilizadas como pasos de fauna puede contribuir de manera importante a la permeabilización... -
Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en varias...
Five national roads, one motorway (A-49) and some local roads were surveyed in Huelva province (SW Spain), most of them close to the coast. Conflictive roads such as N-442 were... -
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.... -
The presence of rabbits adjacent to roads increases polecat road mortality.
Road mortality is an increasing problem for terrestrial vertebrate conservation due to the increase of both road numbers and vehicle flow. We hypothesize that the probability of... -
