Causes and patterns of human-induced mortality in the Critically Endangered E...
Human intervention is the main cause of the decline of the Critically Endangered European mink Mustela lutreola. In this study we analysed the main causes of direct human-caused... -
How do alien plants distribute along roads on oceanic islands? A case study i...
Islands are paradigms of the pervasive spread of alien plants, but little work has been done assessing pattern and cause of the distribution of such plants in relation to roads... -

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... -
Mortandad de vertebrados.
The Society for the Conservation of Vertebrates has recorded during three years vertebrate casualties in railway lines. A total of 329 records were gathered (182 birds, 125... -
A forecasting map of avian roadkill-risk in Europe: a tool to identify potent...
In this study, we propose a novel strategy for identifying potential hotspots of avian roadkills in Europe. The proposed approach combines information about the spatial... -

Mortality survey in W Spain. Rough data: mammals (34%), birds (32%), amphibians (20%) and reptiles (15%). Un inventario de atropellos en el oeste de España. Se facilitan datos... -
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... -

Why keep areas road‐free? The importance of roadless areas.
Roadless and low‐traffic areas are typically large, natural or semi‐natural areas that have no roads or few roads with low‐traffic volume. They are relatively unaffected by... -
Atropellos de animales en carreteras del sureste de la Comunidad de Madrid.
Vertebrate mortality in roads of SE Madrid province. Visited roads crossed rural and industrial areas. The frequencies of different vertebrate classes were: birds (45%; mostly... -
Invaders on the road: synanthropic bird foraging along highways.
Intercity roads potentially offer a high availability of easily accessible food and could therefore be expected to represent a preferential area for synanthropic bird foraging.... -
Spatio-temporal impacts of roads on the persistence of populations: analytic ...
Roads can have drastic impacts on wildlife populations. Although there is wide recognition of the negative impacts caused by roads and a wealth of practical studies, there is a...
