“…The high roadkill indices for D. novemcinctus, T. tetradactyla, C. thous, D. marsupialis and P. cancrivorous in this study demonstrate that the occurrence of these species is relatively common in different eco-regions. Species of Cingulata, Pilosa and Carnivora are largely generalists and have broad distribution, with records in several regions of Brazil (Pereira et al, 2006;Melo & Santos-Filho, 2007;Caceres et al, 2010;Machado et al, 2015;Ramos-Abrantes et al, 2018). These animals are also exposed to frequent roadway crossings due to their necrophagous habits (Scoss et al, 2004).…”

“…The crab-eating fox is a nocturnal carnivore in Neotropical regions with a large home range and high capacity for an opportunistic, generalist, omnivorous diet (Cheida et al, 2006). High occurrences of roadkill affecting the crab-eating are found in diverse regions (Pereira et al, 2006;Cherem et al, 2007;Caceres et al, 2010;Caceres et al, 2012;Costa & Dias, 2013;Carvalho et al, 2014;Brum et al, 2017;Ramos-Abrantes et al, 2018), which reflects its highly mobile behavior, exposing the animal during its constant crossings of roadways associated to its necrophagous diet (Melo & Santos-Filho, 2007;Sousa & Miranda, 2010).…”

Roadways and road traffic modify landscapes, posing a threat to the conservation of species in different biomes. The aim of the present study was to analyze roadkill records of wild mammals and to compare the results to findings from 37 other studies conducted in Brazil, to evaluate the richness and diversity of threatened species in different eco-regions of the country. This study was conducted between June 2007 and June 2008, along 60 km of the inter-state highway BR-364, which connects the municipalities of Ouro Preto d’Oeste and Presidente Médici in the state of Rondônia (northern Brazil). Two hundred twenty roadkills were recorded involving 13 species of mammals. Cingualata, Pilosa and Carnivora were the most represented orders. The most represented were the generalist species Dasypus novemcinctus (56.7%), Tamandua tetradactyla (10.5%), and Cerdocyon thous (8.2%), reflecting the adaptability of these species to habitat changes and presence of humans. The number of roadkilled individuals and species indicated no significant differences between the dry and rainy seasons. The findings indicate a high index of roadkills (3.38 individuals/km/year) and moderate number of run over species (0.20 species/km/year) in the region in comparison to records from other roadways in Brazil, with 46% species having an endangered status. Roadways in the eco-regions of the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) accounted a significantly larger proportion of endangered species (mean: 52%) in comparison to the Pampa (lowlands of southern Brazil; 24%), but the differences in comparison to roadways in Amazonia (37%) and the Atlantic Forest (31%) were non-significant. The present findings underscore the need for emergency measures to minimize the impact of roadkills on mammals. Moreover, priority should be given to more impacted roadways and more threaten eco-regions.

“…First geographic records (FGR) and new roadkill records (NRR) for reptile and bird species were verified from the literature. We compared our dataset to data collected by De Souza et al (2014) from the same highway (BR-262) and data of road-killed reptiles and birds from other Brazilian roads (Novelli et al 1988, Prado et al 2006, Silva et al 2007, Coelho et al 2008, Hengemühle and Cademartori 2008, Cunha et al 2010, Hartmann et al 2011, Ramos et al 2011, Santana 2012, Santos et al 2012, 2014Carvalho et al 2014, Klippel et al 2015, Machado et al 2015, Almeida et al 2016, Braz and França 2016, Deffaci et al 2016, Saranholi et al 2016, Steil et al 2016, Corrêa et al 2017, Miranda et al 2017, Rodríguez-Castro et al 2017, Viturino and Graciolli 2017, Gonçalves et al 2018, Ramos-Abrantes et al 2018.…”

We monitored reptile and bird roadkills in Cerrado–Pantanal landscapes along the Campo Grande to Corumbá highway BR-262. We describe species distribution in different landscape zones, including the first geographic record for Hydrodynastes bicinctus Herrmann, 1804 in the Pantanal basin. The roadkill occurrence of Spizaetus melanoleucus (Vieillot, 1816) is an outstanding record. We recorded 930 individuals belonging to 29 reptile and 47 bird species; 20 of these species are new roadkill records in Brazil. The 8 new records of reptile species include Eunectes notaeus Cope, 1862, Bothrops mattogrossensis Amaral,1925, Dracaena paraguayensis Amaral,1950 and H. bicinctus; and 12 new records of bird species include S. melanoleucus, Heterospizias meridionalis Latham, 1790, Urubitinga urubitinga (Gmelin, 1788), Pulsatrix perspicillata (Latham, 1790), Aramus guarauna (Linnaeus, 1766), and Jabiru mycteria (Lichtenstein, 1819). Richness of road-killed species on the BR-262 highway seemed to be high, reinforcing concerns about wildlife-vehicle collisions where these accidents occur, as they lead to long term and chronic impacts on wildlife and road safety in the Pantanal region.

Objective: describe the monitoring of the mortality of wild animals on a state road located in the municipality of Cacaulândia, state of Rondônia, Western Amazon, caused by the hit of vehicles. Method: the methodological procedure follows that recommended in the manual of the Brazilian Center for Road Ecology Studies CBEE). Result: in the 19-month study period, the identification of animals run over and killed by vehicles reaches 2.57 animals per day, corresponding to an average of 77.1 animals per month and totaling 1,464.9 animals. This value corresponds to 0.073 animals killed per km traveled. The most victimized animal class was that of reptiles with a relative frequency of 51%, followed by mammals with 26.5%, birds with 14.3% and amphibians with 8.2%. Conclusions: peak deaths of wild animals occur on rainy days in the Amazon region. However, in the warm season and in the period of forest fires in the region, wildlife mortality rates remain quite high. What is expected is that this study will serve as an elementary basis so that managers of public policies of the infrastructure service in which the road component of the state of Rondônia is a part can adopt mitigating measures consecrated with the effectiveness in reducing / mitigating impacts in different biological groups, in the specific case of wildlife mortality.
