Herein, we describe an event of wildlife road-kill and quick carcasses removal in the Estação Ecológica do Taim (ESEC Taim), a protected area of Pampa Domain, Southern Brazil. Additionally, we provided a review of the published records on wildlife road-kill at ESEC Taim. Road surveys may be biased due to removal of carcasses from roads by factors such the presence of scavengers in open areas and traffic intensity. Thus, records of the rates at which carcasses are removed from roads are crucial for researches correcting the road-kill estimates and understanding more accurately the impact caused by road-kill on the fauna.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
