Vertebrate road-kill patterns in Mediterranean habitats: Who, when and where (2015, background): “Road-kill studies have been mainly performed in temperate landscapes (Huijser and Bergers, 2000; Trombulak and Frissell, 2000), with few contributions from Mediterranean areas (Malo et al., 2004; Carvalho and Mira, 2011; Garriga et al., 2012).”
Activity patterns of urban red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) reduce the risk of traffic-induced mortality (2007, neutral): “Similarly, roadside characteristics that affect driver visibility may significantly influence the risk of collision (Romin and Bissonette 1996; Clevenger et al. 2003; Malo et al. 2004; Saeki and Macdonald 2004).”
The presence of rabbits adjacent to roads increases polecat road mortality (2009, neutral): “…with embankments, going over bridges and the distance to the nearest non-wildlife underpass (mainly culverts) were also included to control for the potential inXuence of structures which may funnel or facilitate animal movements at particular crossing points (Yanes et al. 1995; Malo et al. 2004).”
The application of predictive modelling of species distribution to biodiversity conservation (2007, background): “Collision with power lines and road kills have been linked to the local decline of endangered species (Ferrer & Janss, 1999; Guzmán et al ., 2004), while some studies have modelled higher risk areas where corrective actions should be prioritized (Garthe & Huppop, 2004; Malo et al ., 2004).”
Species distribution models and ecological theory: A critical assessment and some possible new approaches (2007, background): “…reviews ((Franklin, 1995; Guisan and Zimmermann, 2000; Austin, 2002a; Huston, 2002), numerous methodological comparisons (e.g. Bio et al., 1998; Manel et al., 1999; Miller and Franklin, 2002; Moisen and Frescino, 2002; Munoz and Felicisimo, 2004; Thuiller, 2003; Segurado and Araujo, 2004) and…”
Identifying threshold densities for wild deer in the UK above which negative impacts may occur (2011, background): “…(see, for example, Putman & Kjellander 2003), and between deer density and the frequency of deer–vehicle collisions, which is also affected by a range of other landscape features (e.g. Bashore et al. 1985, Finder et al. 1999, Hubbard et al. 2000, Malo et al. 2004, Putman et al. 2004, Seiler 2004).”
