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 …

The Earth is experiencing excessive nitrogen (N) input to its various ecosystems due to
human activities. How to effectively and efficiently remove N from ecosystems has been, is …

Species occur in urban landscapes under a wide range of conditions and densities, but
knowing only the pattern of occurrence provides limited information about species-specific …

Strategies to reduce wildlife road mortality have become a significant component of many
conservation efforts. However, their success depends on knowledge of the temporal and …

Understanding road-kill patterns is the first step to assess the potential effects of road
mortality on wildlife populations, as well as to define the need for mitigation and support its …

We modelled the spatiotemporal patterns of road mortality for seven medium-large
mammals, using a roadkill dataset from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (800 km of roads …

Roads impact wildlife in a variety of direct and indirect ways. Roads may act as barriers to
dispersal, lead to decreasing population size and genetic diversity, change animal behavior …

This article describes the issue of the influences of the time factor and wildlife populations on
road animal–vehicle crashes. The article presents problems associated with animal–vehicle …

Roads and traffic are tightly related to some of the mains threats for biodiversity. Road
network affects wildlife populations due to, among other effects, partial occupation and …

For several species, roadkill is not spatially aggregated on hotspots, having instead a more
diffuse pattern along the roads. For such species, management measures such as road …
