Roadkill is widely recognized as one of the primary negative effects roads on many wildlife species and also has socioeconomic impacts when they result in accidents. A comprehensive dataset roadkill locations essential to evaluate factors contributing risk enhance our comprehension its impact populations dimensions. We undertook a compilation records, encompassing both published unpublished data gathered from road surveys or opportunistic sources. GLOBAL ROADKILL DATA includes 208,570...
Identifying the genetic basis of speciation is critical for understanding evolutionary history closely related wild species. Recently diverged species facilitate study because many and morphological characteristics are still shared by organisms under study. The Petunia genus grows in South American grasslands comprises both recently commercial In this work, we analysed two species: exserta, which has a narrow endemic range exclusively rocky shelters, axillaris, widely distributed three...
Abstract Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. due to roads (hereafter road‐kill) can affect dynamic populations many species and can, therefore, increase risk local decline or extinction. This especially true in Brazil, where plans for network upgrading expansion overlaps biodiversity hotspot areas, which are high importance global conservation. Researchers, conservationists planners face challenge define a national strategy...
Plant hybridization is frequently observed in nature and considered an important driver of angiosperm diversity. Species are thought to arise through the accumulation morphological genetic differences that promote their evolutionary independence, even presence hybridization. Natural hybrid zones yield excellent system study outcomes terms species Two recently diverged species, Petunia axillaris P. exserta, show floral differentiation attributed attraction varying pollinators. Previous...
Roads cause biodiversity loss and the effects of wildlife-vehicle collisions may ripple from individuals populations to ecosystem functioning. Amphibians are threatened worldwide and, despite being particularly prone roadkill impacts, they often neglected in assessments. Here, we develop a sampling analytical framework for spatially prioritizing mitigation actions anuran amphibian roadkills based on fatality estimation landscape conversion. The is composed six following steps: (1)...
The main goal of this dataset is a compilation geo-referenced road-kill data from published and unpublished road surveys. encompasses records 45 personal communications 26 studies in peer-reviewed journals, theses, reports. comprises 21,512 records, 83% which are identified to the species level (n = 450 species). This can be used identify taxa seem vulnerable traffic, analyze temporal spatial patterns at local, regional, national scales also understand effects on population persistence....
Environmental licensing is one of the most important tools environmental policies in any country, as it allows to adopt preventive and mitigation measures on predicted or observed impacts. However, Impact Assessments are recurrently criticized due their low quality effectiveness support decisions for project viability planning. One way counteract those limitations by strengthening terms reference. Here we present results a collaborative initiative carried out southernmost state Brazil...
