More specifically, it addresses at what scale(s) extent(s) did carnivores appear to respond to fragmentation; which are the patterns of carnivore-vehicle collisions and their causes; how carnivores respond to highways culverts and underpasses; and which is the relationship between “montado” connectivity and carnivore mortality. Stone martens were the most sensitive species to “montado” attributes and fragmentation, although mongoose movement may be limited to shorter distances when landscape connectivity is low. Roads, on the other hand, appear to be selectively permeable and may act as filters to movement. On average, 47 carnivores/100 km/year were road-killed, with red fox suffering the highest mortality. Some species were more vulnerable during specific life history periods (e.g., provisioning young, dispersal, and breeding) and the major contributions to the deadliest segment roads were road sinuosity, suitable habitat, and low human disturbance. This study documented the regular use by most carnivores (0.7 ind./crossing structure/day) except weasels, polecats and wildcats that appeared to avoid passages. In general, carnivores preferred larger passages with vegetation close to the entrances, favorable habitat in the vicinity, and low human disturbance. This study also showed that the likelihood of stone marten occupancy decreased with distance to source areas and increased with patch size. We found an increased cost attributable to open areas and distance to riparian areas. Results presented show that common and wide-ranging species also suffer the effects of habitat fragmentation, and “montado” restoration efforts, as well as, road mitigation measures are required to restore habitat connectivity in the area and ensure long-term sustainability of a diverse carnivore guild.
