#mortalities — Public Fediverse posts

#Seabird and sea #duck #mortalities were lower during the second breeding season in eastern #Canada following the introduction of Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza A #H5Nx viruses, BioRxIV, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.05.03.591923v1?rss=1

Mortalities in breeding season were 93% lower in 23 compared to 22 but encompassed a more diverse array of species. Mortalities in fall & winter (non-breeding season) were dominated by waterfowl, while mortalities during spring & summer (breeding season) were dominated by seabirds.

Impact of Roads and Vehicles on Wildlife Populations
"With over one billion cars on the planet (OICA 2016), the global scale of wildlife roadkill is enormous. Estimates include anywhere between 89-340 million birds killed each year by cars in the US (Loss et al. 2014) and 29 million mammals per year in Europe (Grilo et al. 2020)"

"Estimates for Australia are limited but published studies have reported such figures as: over nine million kangaroos and wallabies struck on Australian roads each year (Burgin and Brainwood 2008); over 300 koalas killed annually on roads in southeast Queensland (QDES 2022); and over 40,000 frogs run over annually on one road in northern NSW (Goldingay and Taylor 2006)"
