  1. Road infrastructures and collisions with vehicles negatively affect many animal populations globally. However, data on road kills of non‐human primates are very limited, not only due to the rare character of this phenomenon, but also due to the geographical bias of reporting in scientific references.
  2. As an alternative, we used data from social media (YouTube videos, online articles and blogs) in addition to searching the existing scientific information. The reports in scientific papers were published in 1994–2018, and the reports in social media dated from 2010 to 2018.
  3. In total we collated information on 46 non‐human primate species and 368 individual animals that were killed due to collisions with vehicles on four continents. Numbers of observations and numbers of species in each continent were as follows: Africa, 46 and 15; Asia, 247 and 14; South America, 72 and 16; and Europe, 3 and 1.
  4. Only two of the species found in our social media internet search belonged to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Endangered category, but a higher‐than‐expected number of fatalities was in the Vulnerable category. In scientific papers, seven Endangered species were reported as victims of collisions. Often it was young individuals crossing roads that were killed by vehicles.
  5. Primates are very charismatic species, so collisions are likely to be reported on social media. We believe that the information we have collected can make a valid contribution to the debate on wildlife‐vehicle collisions, and can be used to plan ways to avoid or mitigate road kills of non‐human primates.

非人类灵长类动物的杀戮:使用不同类型数据的全局视图

  1. 道路基础设施和与车辆的碰撞对全球许多动物种群造成负面影响。但是,关于非人类灵长类动物道路杀害的数据非常有限,这不仅是因为这种现象的罕见性,而且还因为科学文献报道的地域偏见。
  2. 作为替代方案,除了搜索现有的科学信息之外,我们还使用了来自社交媒体(YouTube视频,在线文章和博客)的数据。科学论文的报告发表于1994-2018年,社交媒体的报告发表于2010年至2018年。
  3. 我们总共整理了有关46种非人类灵长类动物物种和368种个体动物的信息,这些物种是由于与四大洲的车辆相撞而被杀死的。每个大陆的观测数量和物种数量如下:非洲46和15;非洲46和15。亚洲247和14;南美分别为72和16;欧洲3和1
  4. 在我们的社交媒体互联网搜索中,只有两个物种属于国际自然保护联盟的“濒危物种”类别,但“易受伤害”类别的死亡人数高于预期。在科学论文中,有7种濒危物种被报告为碰撞的受害者。通常是年轻人越过马路被车辆杀死。
  5. 灵长类动物是非常有魅力的物种,因此很可能在社交媒体上报道碰撞。我们认为,我们收集到的信息可以为有关野生生物与车辆碰撞的辩论做出有效的贡献,并且可以用来计划避免或减轻非人类灵长类动物道路杀害的方法。
