Road mortalities caused by wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVCs) are the most obvious negative
effect of roads on wildlife. Identifying the influencing factors and summarizing the spatial …

Millions of animals are killed on roads annually due to collisions with vehicles, particularly
medium–large mammals. Studies on mammal road-kill flourished in Brazil in the last decade …

The rapidly expanding global road network poses threats to wildlife, including direct
mortality. Given limited knowledge and resources, strategic allocation is critical. We …

Ecuador has both high richness and high endemism, which are increasingly threatened by
anthropic pressures, including roads. Research evaluating the effects of roads remains …

Traffic intensification, often in conjunction with habitat fragmentation, has caused frequent
roadkill incidents, particularly among reptiles, amphibians, and other taxa. Herpetofauna …

Roads impact wildlife around the world; however, dedicated studies are lacking in many
biodiverse areas such as the Amazon. Identifying which species are more often hit by …

Understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of animal road mortality is important for
planning protective measures and raising driver awareness. In our study of Lithuania …

Reptiles are an understudied group in road ecology, despite evidence of their high
vulnerability to road mortality. Recently, trait‐based models have been demonstrated to be …

The harvest of meat from wild animals is essential for the nutrition of many human
populations in the Neotropics. Specific techniques are used to access wild meat, but …

To protect biodiversity we must understand its structure and composition including the
bacteria and microparasites associated with wildlife, which may pose risks to human health …
