The mortality patterns of wildlife-vehicle collisions in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) have become an issue of growing concern across many countries world-wide. Such collisions can have serious implications for populations of free-ranging animals as well as for human safety and frequently cause considerable material damage. We have examined the national wildlife-vehicle collisions throughout the Czech Republic using the database compiled by the Czech Traffic Police during 2007-2009. Using chi-square goodness of fit tests and Geographic Information Systems software we tested the following hypotheses: (i) WVCs occur with the same frequency throughout the year, (ii) the frequency of WVCs is evenly distributed throughout the day, (iii) WVCs occur with the same probability in summer and winter, and (iv) WVCsoccur with the same probability despite differences in surrounding vegetation type along roads. Our analysis revealed significant differences in occurrence of WVCs throughout the year and day. The lowest probability of WVCs was recorded
