TI  - Road kills of mammal species in the Van Lake Basin (Turkey)
AB  - This study was conducted on the road surrounding Lake Van (D300-D975-E99 roads) between February 2016 and January 2017. It is aimed to identify the species and mortality rates of the mammals that die as a result of car crash in the highway. As a result of the study, 57 cases which belong to 8 species in Eulipotyphla, Lagomorpha, Rodentia and Carnivora orders of the Mammalia class were recorded. The primary mammal species killed in car crashes are stone marten (Martes foina) (n=19), hedgehog (Erinaceus concolor) (n= 17) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) (n=13) respectively. Mortality for mammal species was calculated as 0.276 ind/km/year. In addition, a solution to reduce deaths has been proposed.
