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... -

Preliminary frequencies of vertebrate casualties in Toledo province (central Spain): mammals (61%), birds (35%), amphibians (2%), and reptiles (1%). Frecuencias preliminares de... -
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... -
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... -
La mortalidad de mamíferos en carreteras. Análisis de la información recopila...
Small mammals are the most affected wild mammals, although for some species barrier effect might be more harmful than casualties. The same happens to ungulates which are not... -
Road mortality of the little owl (Athene noctua) in Spain.
Causes of little owl road mortality were investigated, based on 418 road casualties and their relation to road characteristics and roadside cover. Road casualties are the most... -

Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
Several local and national roads as well as two highways were surveyed, being birds (37%) and amphibians (37%) the most affected taxa. Species were run over depending on their... -
On-board video recording unravels bird behavior and mortality produced by hig...
Large high-speed railway (HSR) networks are planned for the near future to accomplish increased transport demand with low energy consumption. However, high-speed trains produce... -

La red viaria se ha identificado como un importante agen-te antrópico de transformación ambiental que supone una amenaza para laconservación de la fauna silvestre y genera una... -
Aproximación a los primeros resultados globales provisionales del PMVC.
First results of the national survey of vertebrate mortality in roads. All provinces were covered. Data distribution was not uniform among provinces. More than 29,000 dead... -
A global assessment of the impact of scavengers in roadkill persistence.
There is a higher co-occurrence of scavenger species and road density in areas of Central Europe and North America, as well as many regions across the globe on a finer-scale.... -

Vertebrate mortality survey in roads of Cartagena (SE Spain). The surveyed roads were located roughly close to the coast. The most affected species were Passer domesticus,... -
Environmental and traffic-related factors determining wildlife road-kills thr...
This is the first study focusing on the roadkill of large vertebrates in Mediterranean environments, entailing relevant implications for road safety in this relatively... -
The effect of the moon in wildlife-vehicle collisions.
The phase of the moon is well known to affect activity patterns of animals at night, and may also affect visibility for motorists. However, surprisingly little is known about... -
How long do the dead survive on the road? Carcass persistence probability and...
Background Road mortality is probably the best-known and visible impact of roads upon wildlife. Although several factors influence road-kill counts, carcass persistence time is... -
Clusters of traffic accidents caused by ungulates: identification and evaluat...
Animal Vehicle Collisions (AVC) often show a pattern of aggregation, with clusters along conflictive road stretches. Road traffic safety is diminished in these hotspots, due to... -
Do the size and shape of spatial units jeopardize the road mortality-risk fac...
We aimed to evaluate the role of spatial units with different shapes and sizes on road-kill modeling for small vertebrate species. We used the road-kill records of two reptiles,... -
Temporal patterns of bird mortality due to road traffic collisions in a Medit...
Capsule: There was significant variation on the incidence of road traffic mortality across bird species, due to seasonal and weather effects but also due to differences between... -
