Recent studies suggest that roads can significantly impact bat populations. Though bats are one of the most threatened groups of European vertebrates, studies aiming to quantify bat mortality and determine the main factors driving it remain scarce. Between March 16 and October 31 of 2009, we surveyed road-killed bats daily along a 51-km-long transect that incorporates different types of roads in southern Portug...
En Portugal, la salamanquesa rosada Hemidactylus turcicus solamente está presente en la costa sur y en zonas interiores del sudeste. En este trabajo se describe la existencia de una nueva población que expande la distribución de esta especie por la costa portuguesa. El hallazgo ocurrió en primavera y verano de 2010 durante los inventarios de fauna realizados en una cantera restaurada en Setúbal. La nueva locali...
The increasing road networks threaten ecosystems by direct effects such as increased mortality due to collision with vehicles and by various indirect effects leading to road avoidance. We censused Tawny Owls Strix aluco and Little Owls Athene noctua in 2005, 2007 and 2009 in a rural landscape in Southern Portugal in order to study the effects of roads and habitat characteristics on Tawny Owl density and Little...
