Threats to Biodiversity

22.5K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

17.7K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Conservation Biology
  • Transportation Ecology

Background:

  • Global expansion of road infrastructure leads to habitat fragmentation.
  • Habitat fragmentation increases the frequency of wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC).
  • Primates are particularly vulnerable to WVC as their habitats are increasingly fragmented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the Global Primate Roadkill Database (GPRD), the most extensive standardized collection of primate roadkill incidents.
  • To document primate roadkill data from diverse sources, including scientific literature, citizen science, and media reports.
  • To present the current status and collection methodology of the GPRD.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled primate roadkill data from published papers, unpublished reports, citizen science databases, anecdotal accounts, news, and social media.
  • Recorded species, precise location, and date (year and month) for each roadkill incident.
  • Standardized data collection to create a comprehensive and usable database.

Main Results:

  • The GPRD currently contains 2862 individual primate roadkill records.
  • Data spans 41 countries, highlighting the global nature of the issue.
  • Acknowledges potential underrepresentation of data from certain regions.

Conclusions:

  • The GPRD is a valuable resource for understanding the impact of roads on primates.
  • Further contributions from conservationists and citizen scientists are crucial for expanding the database.
  • Enhanced data will aid in identifying high-risk areas and developing mitigation strategies for primate conservation.
