Abstract

While effects of some linear infrastructures on biodiversity are well understood, the direct effect of railways on the fauna (mortality) is known only for some vertebrate groups. We recorded animal mortality on a 15-km-long railway sector in western Romania. In total, 11 687 animals killed by trains were found of which most were invertebrates (99.19%). Almost 3/4 of dead animals (gastropods and mammals) had been killed long before the study began. Just like roads, this railway affected especially invertebrates, but proximity to a river could have biased our results.

比火车还慢！铁路死亡率的影响，尤其是罗马尼亚阿普塞尼山脉铁路上的蜗牛

虽然一些线性基础设施对生物多样性的影响是众所周知的，但铁路对动物群的直接影响（死亡率）仅为某些脊椎动物群体所知。我们记录了罗马尼亚西部一条15公里长的铁路上的动物死亡率。总共发现了11887只被火车杀死的动物，其中大多数是无脊椎动物（99.19%）。几乎3/4的死亡动物（腹足类和哺乳动物）早在研究开始之前就已经被杀死了。就像道路一样，这条铁路尤其影响无脊椎动物，但靠近河流可能会使我们的结果产生偏差。

期刊介绍： Annales Zoologici Fennici publishes mainly original research reports, but also in-depth reviews and commentaries on all aspects of animal ecology and evolution, and fields related to them. Our aim is to promote papers which focus on the interactions among various components in the past and present environments by using integrative and cross-disciplinary approaches. This may be achieved by employing tools from different fields of research, such as (but not restricted to): ecology and paleoecology, molecular ecology and phylogeography, conservation biology, human-induced contemporary evolution and wildlife management, animal behaviour and interactions (including recognition systems and mechanisms), paleontology (except systematics and taxonomy) and evolution, bioenergetics.
