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.... -

Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
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... -
Bird conservation in fragmented mediterranean forests of Spain: effects of ge...
The effects of habitat fragmentation on forest bird assemblages were analysed in 214 holm oak (Quercus ilex) remnants spread across the northern and southern plateaux of central... -
Enhancing wildlife conservation in road corridors by applying best maintenanc...
Road maintenance provides us excellent opportunities to reduce road’s impacts on wildlife as well as road-wildlife hazards. Mitigation measures maintenance also play a key role... -
Factors affecting culvert use by vertebrates along two stretches of road in s...
A major target for environmental managers when trying to minimise the road-barrier effect on wildlife is to improve permeability to animal movements. Previous studies have... -
Conservation status and farmland requirements of pin-tailed sandgrouse Pteroc...
It is discussed how agricultural practices and, consequently, changes in land use influence the distribution of sandgrouse species. -
Maintenance of ecological assets on transport linear infrastructure.
Rosell, C., Torrellas, M., Colomer, J., Reck, H., Navàs, F. y Bil, M. Maintenance of ecological assets on transport linear infrastructure. CEDR: Wildlife and Traffic. [s.l.]:... -
The effect of roads on edge permeability and movement patterns for small mamm...
Increased edge density is among the main negative effects of habitat loss and fragmentation. Roads are linear infrastructures that may promote barrier effects due to disturbance... -
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... -
Estudio para la gestión del lobo en hábitats fragmentados por autovías.
Between 1997 and 1999 we studied the influence on wolves (Canis lupus) of a four-lane, fenced highway with no specific passes for wildlife in a flat agricultural environment... -
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,... -
A global map of roadless areas and their conservation status.
Roads fragment landscapes and trigger human colonization and degradation of ecosystems, to the detriment of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. The planet’s remaining large... -
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... -
