Roadkill islands: carnivore extinction shifts seasonal use of roadside carrion by generalist avian scavenger

2021-02-19

Abstract excerpt

Global road networks facilitate habitat modification and are integral to human expansion. Many animals, particularly scavengers, use roads as they provide a reliable source of food, such as carrion left after vehicle collisions. Tasmania is often cited as the ‘roadkill capital of Australia’, with the isolated offshore islands in the Bass Strait experiencing similar, if not higher, levels of roadkill. However, nati...
