- One of the most apparent origins of biodiversity loss caused by humans is infrastructural development of roads. Yet they offer certain benefits for some animals, such as hunting opportunities with lower energy costs and consumption of carrion earlier hit by vehicles. Raptors find roads a particularly favorable environment, perching on poles or overhead cables and waiting to attack their prey as it crosses a road. This paper describes the first ever recorded predation by a roadside hawk (Rupornis magnirostris) of a striped snake (Lygophis anomalus) supportable by material evidence, when both the raptor and the snake were hit by a vehicle immediately after the snake was caught. The study contributes to knowledge about the roadside hawk’s diet and illuminates the problem these human infrastructures pose for animals. Future research on roads birds of prey use as hunting sites could contribute toward improvements in conservation programs for birds of prey species.
Jednou zo zjavných príčin straty biodiverzity spôsobenej ľuďmi je rozvoj cestnej infraštruktúry. Niektorým druhom zvierat však ponúka výhody, ako sú energeticky menej náročný lov či konzumácia uhynutých živočíchov zasiahnutých vozidlami. Dravce vyhľadávajú cesty ako mimoriadne vhodné prostredie. Sedia na stĺpoch či vedeniach, kde vyčkávajú aby zaútočili na korisť križujúcu cestu. Tento článok popisuje vôbec prvú zaznamenanú predáciu hada (Lygophis anomalus) myšiakom zobatým (Rupornis magnirostris) keď dravca aj korisť zrazilo vozidlo bezprostredne po útoku. Štúdia prispieva k poznatkom o potrave myšiaka zobatého a zvýrazňuje problémovosť cestnej infraštruktúry pre zvieratá. Ďalší výskum dravých vtákov využívajúcich cesty ako lovné plochy by mohol prispieť k zlepšeniu programov ochrany týchto druhov.
