Abstract

Roads are becoming one of the greater threats to avian fauna. In India, very few studies have been carried out to assess the mortality of avian fauna and other vertebrates. The data on the road kill survey was collected from Jan 2015 to Dec 2017. For the survey of a road-killed avian fauna, the road passing through the agricultural landscape (from Amravati to Paratwada) was selected based on geographical location and availability of vegetation diversity. The survey found a total of 694 carcasses of 38 different species belonging to 25 families that were killed on Amravati to Paratwada Highway. The highest mortality of Greater Coucal (Centropus sinensis) was recorded on Amravati to Paratwada state highway. While studying the seasonal variations, it was observed that the maximum mortality was found from June to September and the minimum from February to May.
国道穿越农业景观区鸟类道路死亡死亡率评价
道路正在成为对鸟类动物群的更大威胁之一。在印度,很少进行评估鸟类动物群和其他脊椎动物死亡率的研究。道路死亡调查的数据收集于2015年1月至2017年12月。为了调查被公路撞死的鸟类,根据地理位置和植被多样性的可用性选择了穿过农业景观的道路(从Amravati到Paratwada)。调查发现,在阿姆拉瓦蒂至帕拉特瓦达高速公路上,共有25个科的38个不同物种的694具尸体被杀。在阿姆拉瓦蒂至帕拉特瓦达国道上,中华人猿(Centropus sinensis)死亡率最高。在研究季节变化时,发现6 - 9月是死亡率最高的季节,2 - 5月是死亡率最低的季节。
