Experimental evidence of increased carcass removal along roads by facultative scavengers.

Investigating the spatial response of scavenging behaviors to roads may help in understanding the relevance of this overlooked ecosystem service. Roads can provide suitable foraging sites for scavengers, whether they are obligate or facultative. However, only a few studies have investigated the impact of roads on the spatial distribution of scavenging behavior, and most of them focused on areas inhabited by species-rich communities of obligate scavengers.
