Large-scale evaluation of carnivore road mortality: the effect of landscape and local scale characteristics

Original language description

Traffic infrastructure is currently one of the main anthropogenic causes affecting carnivore populations, and understanding factors behind spatiotemporal patterns of road mortality is crucial in developing successful conservation measures. Here, we investigated the effect of landscape and local characteristics on road mortality of several carnivore species. Road-kill data from the period 2000-2014 were obtained from a nation-wide volunteer-based survey and Species Occurrence Database of the Czech Republic. From a total of 1020 recorded carnivore road-kills, the most frequently documented was the stone marten (24.2 %) followed by European otter (22.7 %) and red fox (20.2 %). At the landscape scale (1000 m radius), road-kills of habitat generalists (redfox, stone marten, European polecat, least weasel and stoat) were mainly detected in areas with a mixture of arable land and human settlements, while road-kills of habitat specialists (pine marten, Eurasian badger and European otter) and
