Abstract Context Anthropogenic structures have considerable effects on ecosystems, disrupting natural population processes and representing a serious risk in terms of vehicle collisions. The golden jackal ( Canis aureus ) is mesocarnivore species whose range expanding Europe. Roadkills are one the main human-induced mortalities Italy to species. Objectives Identify road-related characteristics ...
