A meta-analysis of carcass disappearance field experiments in conservation biology with guidelines for future trials.

The exponential development of human infrastructures causes mortality in thousands of wildlife species. In order to evaluate its impact in population dynamics, we need to control for bias in carcass persistence. Here we review the main drivers influencing carcass persistence that limit the estimation of wildlife mortality rates in different infrastructures and suggest guidelines for correct planning of future trials.
