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.

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: 10.15560/14.5.845
Abstract: We monitored reptile and bird roadkills in Cerrado–Pantanal landscapes along the Campo Grande to Corumbá highway BR-262. We describe species distribution in different landscape zones, including the first geographic record for Hydrodynastes bicinctus Herrmann, 1804… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology11050748
Abstract: Simple Summary Semiaquatic mammal roadkill, specifically the European beaver, Eurasian otter, American mink and muskrat was analyzed in Lithuania in the period 2002–2021. From almost 40,000 recorded roadkill cases for all species, these species were… read more here.

Effectiveness of small road tunnels and fences in reducing amphibian roadkill and barrier effects at retrofitted roads in Sweden
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.7518
Abstract: Schemes to reduce road impacts on amphibians have been implemented for decades in Europe, yet, several aspects on the effectiveness of such schemes remain poorly understood. Particularly in northern Europe, including Sweden, there is a… read more here.
