Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map areas of high roadkill risk. Thus, we present the first assessment of roadkill impacts for Latin American birds and mammals.

拉丁美洲鸟类和哺乳动物的道路杀伤模式

道路是野生动物的主要威胁，栖息地退化并通过野生动物与车辆的碰撞导致死亡。在拉丁美洲，高生物多样性和快速扩张的道路网络的结合令人担忧。我们引入了一种结合物种特征和栖息地偏好的方法来描述脆弱性并绘制高道路杀伤风险区域。因此，我们对拉丁美洲鸟类和哺乳动物的道路杀伤影响进行了首次评估。
