The omnivore’s dilemma: Diet explains variation in vulnerability to vehicle collision mortality

2013-11-01

Abstract excerpt

As human populations increase, roads are expanded and traffic increases, leading to more opportunities for animal–vehicle collisions. Roadkill is a serious threat to animal populations, and has the potential to drive threatened populations extinct. Despite this widespread damage, what makes a species’ particularly vulnerable to being hit by vehicles is not well understood and mitigation attempts have been largely...
