A review of searcher efficiency and carcass persistence in infrastructure-driven mortality assessment studies
Infrastructures in natural areas are expanding rapidly worldwide. Consequently, roads,
power-lines, and wind-farms cause millions of fatalities across several animal groups. Assessing …

[HTML][HTML] The lost road: do transportation networks imperil wildlife population persistence?
The global road network is rapidly growing associated with human economic development.
This growth also entails a high toll for biodiversity, with several well-documented negative …

Habitat suitability vs landscape connectivity determining roadkill risk at a regional scale: a case study on European badger (Meles meles)
Collisions between wildlife and vehicles represent the main conflict between infrastructures
and ecosystems. Road mortality is the largest single cause of death for many vertebrates, …

Road avoidance responses determine the impact of heterogeneous road networks at a regional scale
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), associated …

[HTML][HTML] Beware that the lack of wildlife mortality records can mask a serious impact of linear infrastructures
Linear infrastructures (eg roads, railways or power lines) promote a myriad of negative impacts
on wildlife around the world, of which direct mortality is the most visible one. When high …

[HTML][HTML] Impacts of roads on bird species richness: A meta-analysis considering road types, habitats and feeding guilds
Roadsides can harbour remarkable biodiversity; thus, they are increasingly considered as
habitats with potential for conservation value. To improve construction and management of …

Bird collisions with power lines: Prioritizing species and areas by estimating potential population‐level impacts
M D'Amico, RC Martins… - Diversity and …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Power lines can represent an important source of bird mortality through collision. The
identification of more susceptible species, in terms of expected population‐level impacts, …

[HTML][HTML] EU protected area network did not prevent a country wide population decline in a threatened grassland bird
Background Few studies have assessed the effectiveness of the Protected Area networks
on the conservation status of target species. Here, we assess the effectiveness of the …

Drivers of power line use by white storks: A case study of birds nesting on anthropogenic structures
Anthropogenic structures are mainly known to have negative impacts on wildlife populations
but they can be beneficial. Power lines are a main driver of bird mortality through collision …
