In light of rapidly expanding road networks worldwide, there is increasing global awareness
of the growing amount of mammalian roadkill. However, the ways in which road mortality …

The development and presence of roads can reduce landscape permeability, lead to habitat
loss, and increase habitat fragmentation. It is these fundamental changes in landscape …

Abstract Biodiversity in Latin America is at risk today due to habitat loss, land conversion to
agriculture and urbanization. To grow their economies the developing countries of Latin …

Roads have numerous direct and indirect ecological impacts on wildlife. Vehicle collisions
are a top impact of roads on birds, with tens of millions of birds thought to be killed each year …

Roads, while central to the function of human society, create barriers to animal movement
through collisions and habitat fragmentation. Barriers to animal movement affect the …

1. Barrier effect is a road-related impact affecting several animal populations. It can be
caused by behavioural responses towards roads (surface and/or gap avoidance) …

Aim Collisions between wildlife and vehicles are recognized as one of the major causes of
mortality for many species. Empirical estimates of road mortality show that some species are …

Aim Land‐use change is a major threat to biodiversity globally. Roads cause direct mortality
and limitation of individual movements, which may isolate populations and affect their …

Many species living in developed areas adjust the timing of their activity and habitat
selection to avoid humans, which may reduce their risk of conflict, including vehicle …

Linear infrastructures (eg, roads, railways, pipelines, and powerlines) pose a serious threat
to wildlife, due to the risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions (roadkills). The placement of mitigation …
