Presentation of a database containing 369 references on vertebrate road mortality. Se describe una base de datos que contiene 369 referencias de mortalidad de vertebrados por... -
A model for assessing habitat fragmentation caused by new infrastructures in ...
The aim of the present work is to design a model for evaluating the impact of planned infrastructures on species survival at the territorial scale by calculating a connectivity... -
Can we model distribution of population abundance from wildlife–vehicles coll...
Reliable estimates of the distribution of species abundance are a key element in wildlife studies, but such information is usually difficult to obtain for large spatial or long... -
Conectividad ecológica del territorio y conservación de la biodiversidad. Nue...
El texto se divide en dos partes principales. En la primera parte se describe la problemática que se deriva de los procesos de fragmentación de hábitats naturales y poblaciones... -
A comparison of Eurasian red squirrel distribution in different fragmented la...
The occurrence of species vulnerable to habitat fragmentation is likely to depend on the size and separation of the fragments. However, the shape of the function that relates... -
Road encroachment mediates species occupancy, trait filtering and dissimilari...
Assessing the road effects on biodiversity is challenging because impacts may depend on both wildlife responses to roads and on the spatial arrangement of roads. We questioned... -
The role of landscape permeability for stone marten conservation: patch occup...
Ascensão, F., Grilo, C., Bissonette, J.A. y Santos-Reis, M. The role of landscape permeability for stone marten conservation: patch occupancy and road mortality risk. 23rd... -
The ecological effects of linear infrastructure and traffic.
Roads, railways and utility easements are integral components of human society, allowing for the safe and efficient transport of people and goods. There are few places on earth... -
Use of passages across a canal by wild mammals and related mortality.
From 1993–1998, we monitored a 24.1-km long concrete water canal in northern Spain for drowned mammals. Along the canal, 14 concrete bridges and 9 small bridges permitted... -
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... -
Fatal attraction of short-tailed shearwaters to artificial lights.
Light pollution is increasing around the world and altering natural nightscapes with potential ecological and evolutionary consequences. A severe ecological perturbation caused... -
El lobo en Castilla-León.
Causes of mortality of 284 wolves between 1986 and 1988 were investigated, road casualties being responsible for 5.6% of deaths. Se investigaron las causas de mortalidad de 284... -
Road verges are refuges for small mammal populations in extensively managed M...
Understanding how roads affect the persistence of animal populations is one of the challenges of road ecology. Small mammals are of great interest on account of their value as... -
Motorway verges: paradise for prey species? A case study with the European ra...
Roads have many effects on the mammal populations of their surroundings. Prey species are thought to establish dense populations in road verges due to a predation release... -
Bats and invertebrates provide evidence of ecoducts’ role as key elements of ...
Large overpasses, called ecoducts or green bridges, are considered one of the best options for providing ecological connections across linear transport infrastructures. In... -
Identification of strategic corridors for restoring landscape connectivity: a...
The conservation or creation of ecological corridors is a key to support species persistence in fragmented landscapes. However, little guidance exists on where to concentrate... -

Accounting for connectivity uncertainties in predicting roadkills: a comparat...
Functional connectivity modeling is increasingly used to predict the best spatial location for over- or underpasses, to mitigate road barrier effects and wildlife roadkills.... -
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...
