Risk response towards roads is consistent across multiple species in a temperat...

Roads can have diverse impacts on wildlife species, and while some species may adapt effectively, others may not. Studying multiple species’ responses to the same infrastruc- ture in a given area can help understand this variation and reveal the effects of distur- bance on the ecology of wildlife communities. This study investigates the behavioural responses of four species with distinctive ecological and behav...

Ecological Solutions for Linear Infrastructure Networks: the key to green infra...

The rapid expansion of linear infrastructure networks poses a global threat to biodiversity and ecosystem services (Laurance and Balmford 2013, van der Ree et al. 2015). Over the last few decades, research and careful planning have led to solutions which begin mitigating the negative effects of these infrastructures (Lesbarrères and Fahrig 2012, van der Grift et al. 2013, Rytwinski et al. 2016). Transport monit...

Livro Vermelho dos Mamíferos de Portugal Continental

A publicação deste Livro Vermelho, o primeiro inteiramente dedicado aos mamíferos, teve a ambição de ir bastante além do seu objetivo central – avaliar o risco de extinção das espécies de Portugal Continental. Entre os objetivos suplementares deste projeto incluem-se: (i) compilar toda a informação existente sobre a ocorrência de mamíferos no território nacional, como dados museológicos, resultados de censos e ...

Landscape and road features linked to wildlife mortality in the Amazon

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 vehicles and which landscape and road-related features promote roadkill is essential to guide future development and ensure adequate mitigation actions. For six months, we monitored 240 km of roads in the Ecuadorian Amazon and recorded 1125 d...

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefo...

The lost road: Do transportation networks imperil wildlife population persistence?

The global road network is rapidly growing associated with human economic development. This growthalso entails a high toll for biodiversity, with several well-documented negative impacts on differentspecies. However, there is still a great lack of knowledge about the effects of roads on the persistenceof wildlife populations. Here, we aimed to summarize our current knowledge on this topic, based onsystematic re...
