The impacts of roads and other infrastructure on mammal and bird populations: a meta-analysis. (2010, background): “…have reported the presence of raptors nearby roads searching roadkill carrion (Forman and Alexander, 1998; Lambertucci et al., 2009) and hunting (Dónazar et al., 1993; Fajardo et al., 1998; Dean and Milton, 2003), with some exceptions during the breeding season (Martínez-Abraín et al., 2008).”
Roads and wildlife: impacts, mitigation and implications for wildlife management in Australia (2010, background): “Despite the potential severity of these impacts, and recognition that not all species will be affected (e.g. Meunier et al. 1999; Bellamy et al. 2000; Dean and Milton 2003), we are only beginning to understand how widespread these effects are and how predictable they might be across taxa (see Fahrig”
Hit and Run: Effects of Scavenging on Estimates of Roadkilled Vertebrates (2005, background): “Since diurnal scavengers are known to forage along roadways (e.g., Dean and Milton 2003), we placed carcasses 0.4 km apart to help prevent spatial autocorrelation.”
