Wildlife Roadkill in Chitwan, Nepal: Identifying Affected Species, Potential Drivers and Hotspots. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA total of 618 cases involving 36 species of wild vertebrates were reported on sections of National Highways H01 and H05. Comparatively, species richness in road kills was higher on highway H01 (n = 343) than on H05 (n = 275). The road sections that cross between forests, forest edges, and residential areas consistently increase the number of ...
