| Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche | The Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR), Tamil Nadu, India (core zone: 958 km², 10.2160N, 76.8160E – 10.5660N, 77.4160E) is a protected area in the Western Ghats. The adjoining Valparai Plateau (220 km², 10.250N, 76.8660E – 10.3660N, 76.9830E) in the Anamalai Hills is a landscape dominated by tea and coffee plantations with about 45 embedded rainforest fragments ranging in area from 1 ha to over 300 ha. |
| Description du design | From (Jeganathan et al. 2018): This study was carried out along the Pollachi–Valparai highway (Tamil Nadu State Highway 78), and on roads in other areas of Valparai plateau, some of which were improved in recent times (since 2008). These roads pass through monoculture plantations and rainforest fragments in the plateau and through moist and deciduous forests of ATR. As these include an arterial highway and roads connecting certain tourist spots, they are the most intensively used and hence were chosen for this study. Roadkill surveys were carried out within an elevation range of 328–1462 m above mean sea level (msl) in the study area. Eleven road transects of 3.7–12.9 km length (total length = 80.2 km, average = 7.2 km) were surveyed during monsoon and summer. |

Méthodes d'échantillonnage
Surveys were conducted on foot between 0600 h and 0800 h. Of the eleven transects surveyed, seven road transects passed through ATR and the remaining four passed through rainforest fragments, tea, coffee and eucalyptus plantations on the Valparai plateau. For roadkills found, the species, the number of individuals and the roadside habitat were noted, and their locations were recorded using a hand-held Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx device. To avoid duplicate counts on subsequent visits, roadkills were removed from the road (and placed outside the road verge) after noting the details. Supplementary observations and roadkill incidents in the study area were also recorded opportunistically. At the location of each roadkill, the adjoining habitat on either side of the road was noted. Habitats were broadly classified as forest and monoculture plantations (tea, coffee, eucalyptus). As two different habitats sometimes occurred on either side of the road at habitat edges, the following combinations of mixed habitats were also categorized: forest-tea, forest-coffee and eucalyptus-tea.
| Etendue de l'étude | Eleven road transects of 3.7–12.9 km length (total length = 80.2 km, average = 7.2 km) were surveyed during monsoon and summer. Overall, these transects were walked 117 times (9–13 repeats each) from June to December 2011 (monsoon) and 87 times (7–8 repeats each) from March to June 2012 (summer). Transects walked in June 2012 prior to the onset of monsoon were pooled with summer for analysis. The total length surveyed during the study period was 1473.4 km (monsoon = 838.5 km, summer = 634.9 km). |
|---|---|
| Contrôle qualité | Roadkill specimens were not collected and only photographs were taken to aid in identification. Roadkills were identified to species level in case of mammals and birds. Amphibian and reptile roadkills were often in a badly damaged state, especially during monsoon, making it difficult to identify them even up to genus level. Such records were categorized up to the group level or left unidentified. Invertebrates were recorded up to phylum level or sub-phylum level. |
Description des étapes de la méthode:
- The dataset with road tracks were uploaded to Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7049090). CSV files for upload to GBIF were prepared using R code to match columns to Darwin Core terms.
