Globally, wildlife is affected by unprecedented changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, lockdown effect on traffic-related mortality in hedgehogs an urban area was studied. Comparing pre-pandemic (2018 and 2019) pandemic (2020) years, we showed that hedgehog roadkill levels during period were over 50% lower (which means a decrease greater than road traffic same measured number of accidents or average vehicles per day). Based literature data, may mean at least tens thousands have survived national scale. We report need start intensive research possible demographic genetic effects unique phenomenon. also ask how stable will be whether anthropause) reverse negative trends decline wild species, including hedgehogs.

Abstract Wildlife-vehicle collisions threaten both humans and wildlife, but we still lack information about the relationship between traffic volume wildlife-vehicle collisions. The COVID-19 pandemic allowed us to investigate effects of on in United States. We observed decreased nationwide, particularly densely populated states with low or high disease burdens. Despite reduced traffic, total were unchanged; did decline at start pandemic, increased as progressed, ultimately exceeding previous year. As a result, nationwide collision rates higher during pandemic. suggest that wildlife road use offsets Thus, will not always reduce

Voice modulatory cues such as variations in fundamental frequency, duration and pauses are key factors for structuring vocal signals human speech communication other tetrapods. modulation physiology is highly similar humans tetrapods due to shared ancestry functional pressures efficient communication. This has led similarly structured vocalizations across Nonetheless, their details, structural characteristics may vary species languages. Because data concerning voice non-human tetrapod production especially perception relatively scarce compared perception, this review focuses on used segmentation languages, highlighting comparative where available. Cues that many languages help indicate which result from physiological or basic cognitive constraints, be employed more flexibly shaped by cultural evolution. suggests promising candidates future investigation of structure vocalizations. article part the theme issue 'Voice modulation: origin mechanism social impact (Part I)'.
