Are animal-vehicle collisions a random event? – Analysis of the spatial distr...
Ungulate-vehicle collisions (UVC) in Sweden, Catalonia (NE Spain), the Czech republic as well as in many other European countries are an increasing traffic safety issue, causing... -
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... -
Distributional patterns of endemic, native and alien species along a roadside...
Invasion by alien plant species may be rapid and aggressive, causing erosion of local biodiversity. This is particularly true for islands, where natural and anthropogenic... -
Traffic noise pollution does not influence habitat selection in the endangere...
Traffic noise is an associated effect of roads, potentially impacting wildlife. In the case of birds, it may alter spatial distribution, behavioural responses and physiological... -
Potential hotspots of amphibian roadkill risk in Spain.
We test a forecasting strategy to identify potential hotspots of amphibian roadkill, combining the spatial distribution of amphibians, their relative risk of collision with... -
Influence of new irrigated croplands on wild boar (Sus scrofa) road kills in ...
Influencia de los nuevos cultivos en regadío sobre las colisiones de vehículos con jabalí (Sus scrofa) en el Noroeste de España Las poblaciones de jabalí han aumentado en número... -
An analytical and simulation framework to study the impacts of roads on the p...
Background/Question/Methods Roads can have major impacts on wildlife populations. They fragment the landscape, thus reducing the dispersal ability and gene flow of species, and... -
Utilització dels nous hábitats associats a l’obertura de l’eix de Vallvidrera...
This article is the result of a study carried out in Vallvidrera motorway between 1990-1993. The authors analyse the use that birds are doing of the new habitats associated to... -
Roads as overlooked drivers of change in bird communities.
Road networks are expanding globally, promoting numerous impacts on biodiversity, resulting in important changes in species occurrence patterns, but there is still a lack of... -
Mortalidad del jabalí (Sus scrofa) en carreteras de la provincia de Salamanca...
El Jabalí (Sus scrofa), es el ungulado silvestre de mayor incidencia en las carreteras de la provincia de Salamanca, soportando el 33, 5% del total de atropellos sobre mamíferos... -
Living on the verge: are roads a more suitable refuge for small mammals than ...
The retention of natural habitat corridors is a useful and practical conservation tool that can attenuate the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on wildlife. Linear... -

La repercusión del tráfico en carreteras sobre las rapaces.
Diurnal raptors use roads to feed on carcasses (victims of traffic as well), while nocturnal raptors use roads mainly to feed on their usual preys. Diurnal raptors are killed on... -
Nightjars, rabbits, and foxes interact on unpaved roads: spatial use of a sec...
Linear developments, such as roads and firebreaks, can increase encounter rates between predator and prey, which could affect predator–prey interactions and community dynamics.... -

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... -
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...
