“…The species accumulation curve showed an underestimation of species at risk of being be roadkilled along the studied stretch. Besides secondary causes, such as carcass removal (Teixeira et al 2013, desiccation (Pereira et al 2018), and projection of animals upon collision with vehicle (Novaes et al 2018), the first explanation for the underestimation in our data may be related to the short distance sampled and the relatively few field surveys. However, as road-kill represents a sporadic event for most species, even long-term studies or monitoring over longer stretches may neglect some potential at-risk taxa (Bager & Rosa 2011).…”

“…For instance, Baskaran and Samson estimated the road kills of animals on state highways at Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in India to analyze the effect of vehicular traffic on wild animals [5,9]. In addition, Pereira et al evaluated the temporal variation in anuran mortality rates on two highways in the Brazilian semiarid zone over a one-year period [10], and a field investigation was conducted by Wang et al to assess the road mortality of native vertebrates on the Ring Changbai Mountain Scenic Highway in China from 2009 to 2012 [11]. Researchers have also attempted to propose management strategies to reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortalities.…”

“…O avanço urbano tem demandado cada vez mais o desenvolvimento de redes viárias (PEREIRA et al, 2018). Entretanto, a implementação de estradas causa grande impacto ao remover a vegetação nativa, e fragmentar o habitat, criando efeito de borda e alterações na estrutura da paisagem (FERREIRA et al, 2004).…”

“…Entretanto, a implementação de estradas causa grande impacto ao remover a vegetação nativa, e fragmentar o habitat, criando efeito de borda e alterações na estrutura da paisagem (FERREIRA et al, 2004). Estudos acerca do custo biológicos das estradas, também evidenciam seu impacto no atropelamento de fauna, que afeta significativamente várias espécies (BRUM et al, 2018;PEREIRA et al, 2018). Esse impacto é o principal fator de influência direta na mortalidade de vertebrados, superando até mesmo a caça (FORMAN e ALEXANDER, 1998).…”
