Abstract

The article delves into the significant threat of roadkill to herpetofauna species in Texas, particularly highlighting the vulnerability of species like the Houston Toad and Texas Horned Lizard. It introduces innovative multi-method modeling techniques, including MaxEnt and KDEM, to predict roadkill hotspots and inform conservation planning. The study also explores cross-taxa modeling to address the challenge of limited data for individual rare species. By comparing different modeling approaches, the research aims to provide practical tools for mitigating roadkill impacts and supporting local conservation efforts.
