  • Road Kill of Kangaroos on an Australian Outback Highway

    Road Kill of Kangaroos on an Australian Outback Highway

    Frequency and causes of kangaroo-vehicle collisions on an Australian Outback Highway Ulrike KlöckerA, David B CroftB,C and Daniel RampB AMuseum Alexander Koenig, Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms Universität Bonn, 53113 Bonn, Germany BSchool of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of New South Wales, UNSW Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia CUNSW Arid Zone Research Station, Fowlers Gap, via Broken Hill NSW 2880, Australia. To whom correspondence should be addressed. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Kangaroo-vehicle collisions are frequent on Australian highways. Despite high economic costs, detrimental effects on animal welfare, and potential impacts on population viability, little research has been done to investigate the impact of road mortality on kangaroo populations, where and why accidents occur, and how the collisions can be mitigated. We therefore collected data on species (Macropus rufus, M. giganteus, M. fuliginosus, M. robustus), sex and age of kangaroos killed on a 21.2 km bitumised section of outback highway over 6 months in far western New South Wales, Australia. The spatial and temporal distribution of road-killed kangaroos was investigated in relation to the cover and quality of road-side vegetation, road characteristics, the density of kangaroos along the road, climatic variables, and traffic volume. A total of 125 kangaroos were found killed on the road at a rate of 0.03 deaths km-1 d-1. Grey kangaroos of two species (M. giganteus, M fuliginosus) were under-represented in the road-kill sample as compared to their proportion in the source population estimated during the day. No bias towards either sex was found. The age structure of road-killed kangaroos was similar to age structures typical of source kangaroo populations.
