Tese de doutoramento, Biologia (Biologia da Conservação), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, 2013 ; Road habitat fragmentation has been identified as a major threat for biodiversity conservation. Roads induce a ‘barrier effect’ by representing a physical obstacle or promoting animal-vehicle collisions, disrupting daily and seasonal movements and consequently leading to the depletion and genetic sub...
Roads promote high levels of animal-vehicle collisions and have one of the most visible man-made impacts on wildlife. In Portugal, SW Europe, very few ecological studies have focused on the impacts from roads on vertebrates. Knowledge of the main factors driving the emergence of hotspots of vertebrate mortality is still scarce. A segment of a main road 26-km long was sampled by car at an average speed of 20 km/...
