The spatial distribution of animal casualties within a road corridor: Implications for roadkill monitoring in the southern Iberian rangelands
Original language description
We assessed wildlife roadkill spatial patterns focusing on asphalt roads in southern Spanish oak rangelands (dehesas). Four roads in the Sierra Morena range (Andalusia) were surveyed twice during autumn winter 2009 2010 and spring-summer 2010. Roadsides were walked on both sides across the total road length (53 km overall length walked per season106 km) for each field season by 1 4 trained observers at 1 2 km h. Asphalt surface, road verges shoulders, runoff ditches and road banks slopes (neighboring habitat) were exhaustively inspected for all dead vertebrates, which were georeferenced and identified. Roadkills (N 396) were classified into 67 species (5 amphibians, 7 reptiles, 37 birds and 18 mammals). In total, 128 (32,3) of all roadkills were found within the road asphalt lanes, with the remaining two thirds (268, 67,7) outside the asphalt lanes. This pattern was consistent regardless of season and several structural attributes of roads. However, vertebrate class was determinant, with mo
