The domino effect of roads on biodiversity: How the impacts of wildlife-vehicle collisions propagate through food webs
Our study reveals that roads and traffic not only cause direct wildlife mortality but also destabilise entire ecological networks by altering predator-prey interactions. By mapping high-risk areas for disrupted predator-prey interactions across Europe, we highlight the urgent need for tailored measures to reduce roadkill and preserve the integrity of ecological networks.
