Global Roadkill Data: a dataset on terrestrial vertebrate mortality caused by collision with vehicles (Supplementary information)

Roadkill is widely recognized as one of the primary negative effects of roads on many wildlife species and also has socioeconomic impacts when they result in accidents. A comprehensive dataset of roadkill locations is essential to evaluate the factors contributing to roadkill risk and to enhance our comprehension of its impact on wildlife populatio...

We present the GLOBAL ROADKILL DATA, the largest worldwide compilation of roadkill data on terrestrial vertebrates. We outline the workflow (Fig. 1) to illustrate the sequential steps of the study, in which we merged local-scale survey datasets and opportunistic records into a unified roadkill large dataset comprising 208,570 roadkill records. Thes...

Food is a primary factor driving animal population dynamics. Low quality food (e.g. poisoned carrion) has caused large declines of Asian and African vulture populations pushing some species to the brink of extinction. Although Europe emerges as a stronghold for the guild, European vultures face potential food shortages due to sanitary restrictions...

La dieta es un aspecto básico de la ecología animal con importantes implicaciones en conservación. La crisis mundial que sufren actualmente los buitres se debe a problemas relacionados con la alimentación tales como el consumo de carroñas contaminadas (diclofenaco en Asia, plomo en EEUU, veneno y antibióticos en Europa) o a las restricciones en la...
