Resumo(s)
We have divided the book into two parts. The first aims at reviewing the main ideas
and methods related to the identification, monitoring, and mitigation of railway
impacts on biodiversity, with emphasis on wildlife mortality, barrier effects, biological
invasions, and the effects of other railway environmental impacts such as
noise and chemical pollution. The second part of the book provides a set of case studies from around the world
that illustrate the impacts of railways on wildlife and ways to reduce those impacts.
Reflecting the strong interest in the topic of wildlife mortality, four chapters focus
on the patterns of mortality resulting from collisions with trains and railway
structures, each of which suggests several mitigation measures to reduce such
mortality.
