Landscape planning and defragmentation measures: an assessment of costs and...
Defragmentation, i.e. the systematic action of reconnecting even smaller and more isolated landscape patches, is a major concern for landscape analysists and planners. Landscape... -
Clusters of traffic accidents caused by ungulates: identification and...
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... -
How do major roads affect barn owls? Distribution, space use, food source...
How do major roads affect barn owls? Distribution, space use, food source and mortality. -
Disentangle the causes of the road barrier effect in small mammals through...
Road barrier effect is among the foremost negative impacts of roads on wildlife. Knowledge of the factors responsible for the road barrier effect is crucial to understand and... -
A comparison on the response to forest fragmentation by medium-sized iberian...
We studied the use of forest fragments by five medium-sized carnivore species in 280 forest fragments on the two Iberian plateaus. We looked for indirect evidence (faeces,... -
Environmental impact of road transport traffic. A case study for County of...
The continuous increase of vehicle fleet along with the development of road transport networks has associated a wide range of externalities. Main types of externalities refer to... -

Mitigation measures to reduce impacts on biodiversity.
Roads and traffic impact wildlife in a variety of ways. In some animal populations, they enhance mortality, limit mobility, fragment populations, and decrease habitat amount and... -

Se llevó a cabo el radioseguimiento de 15 corzos translocados. El efecto barrera causado por la presencia de una red importante de infraestructuras viarias alrededor del macizo... -
Vocal response to traffic noise in a non-passerine bird: the little bustard...
Anthropogenic noise is spreading worldwide and can interfere with the acoustic communication of multiple animal groups. Species communicating in low-frequency ranges (having... -
Towards effective culvert design: monitoring seasonal use and behavior by...
Drainage culverts are known to be used by a diverse number of species. To date, most studies looking at culvert usage have been restricted to the dry season. This seasonal bias... -

Mobile mapping system (MMS2) for detecting roadkills.
Roads affect negatively wildlife, from direct mortality to habitat fragmentation. Mortality caused by collision with vehicles on roads is a major threat to many species.... -
Bad moon rising? The influence of the lunar cycle on amphibian roadkills.
Annually, roads, and their associated users, are responsible for millions of roadkills worldwide. Mortality affects multiple taxonomic groups, but amphibians are particularly... -
The role of remote sensing data in habitat suitability and connectivity...
Ecological modeling requires sufficient spatial resolution and a careful selection of environmental variables to achieve good predictive performance. Although national and... -
A new large-scale index (AcED) for assessing traffic noise disturbance on...
Anthropogenic noise is a growing ubiquitous and pervasive pollutant as well as a recognised stressor that spreads throughout natural ecosystems. However, there is still an... -
Assessing behaviour states of a forest carnivore in a road-dominated...
Anthropogenic infrastructures and land-use changes are major threats to animal movements across heterogeneous landscapes. Yet, the behavioural consequences of such constraints... -
Bringing science and technology together: Real-time road signs based on...
Numerous types of mitigation measures aimed at reducing animal-vehicle collisions (AVC) are available. These measures are oriented both to the driver and the animal and show...
