DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6394
Abstract: Abstract One of the most evident and direct effects of roads on wildlife is the death of animals by vehicle collision. Understanding the spatial patterns behind roadkill helps to plan mitigation measures to reduce the… read more here.

Roadkill risk in European birds: the role of detection and plumage colouration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Oikos"
DOI: 10.1002/oik.11337
Abstract: Wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVCs) are a significant cause of mortality among European birds. This poses a threat to the conservation of birds because pervasive human‐related structures, such as road networks, are expected to expand over the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-018-1241-7
Abstract: 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, representing a growing phenomenon of remarkable dimension. Most studies in… read more here.

A forecasting map of avian roadkill-risk in Europe: A tool to identify potential hotspots
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108729
Abstract: Abstract In this study, we propose a novel strategy for identifying potential hotspots of avian roadkills in Europe. The proposed approach combines information about the spatial distribution of bird species at a comparatively higher risk… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01530
Abstract: Abstract Understanding when and where roadkill is most likely to occur is vital to reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions. However, little is known about how roadkill rates change through time and whether or not the key influences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112664
Abstract: Reliable estimates of wildlife mortality due to wildlife-vehicle collisions are key to understanding its impact on wildlife populations and developing strategies to prevent or reduce collisions. Standardised approaches for monitoring roadkill are needed to derive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wr24029
Abstract: ABSTRACT Context. Habitat degradation caused by roads and wildlife–vehicle collisions are two of the main drivers of terrestrial vertebrate mortality. Spatial collision patterns are influenced by habitat and road characteristics and the species’ ecology and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aje.70077
Abstract: The continuous expansion of global road networks, driven by increasing human populations, poses an emerging threat to animal populations through vehicle collisions. This study identifies the causal factors and hotspots of animal roadkill along a… read more here.

Fleas of wild mammals carrying pathogenic bacteria in Argentinian Patagonia: A study based on wildlife roadkill
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Medical and Veterinary Entomology"
DOI: 10.1111/mve.70012
Abstract: Fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) are recognised vectors of bacteria that affect human and other animal health, whose reservoirs are in the majority mammals. Among these, some species of the genera Rickettsia (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) and Bartonella (Rhizobiales:… read more here.
