Iowa NatureMapping:
  Road Kill Monitoring Project
Thank you to the Living Roadway Trust Fund of
   Iowa for completely funding this project

  and all the NatureMapping volunteers who
           contributed to this project!
What is NatureMapping?

     • A Citizen Science
       Program
     • Monitor wildlife species
     • Trained citizen
       volunteers
     • Standard set of
       protocols, of which the
       basic idea is…
Tell us what you see…

                Jeff LeClere




               Jeff LeClere
…And where you see it
NatureMapping Training
      Workshop
    • Level I:
          Basic wildlife ID
      


          Map reading
      


          Geo-referencing
      


          Sampling methods &
      


          Data-entry
      



           • Mammals
           • Reptiles
           • Amphibians
           • Birds
Early planning stages of a road kill study… while
promising, we scrapped this idea in favor of a more tested
                      approach.
Living Roadway Trust Fund
     Road Kill Study
    • Use trained NatureMapping
      volunteers, using basic
      NatureMapping wildlife
      monitoring protocols, to
      answer a question for the
      Iowa Department of
      Transportation.
LRTF Road Kill Study

  • Roadside Prairie
    Planting Assumption:
     Enhances Roadside

      Habitat
LRTF Road Kill Study

   • The Questions:
      Do the roadsides

       provide good wildlife
       habitat? or
      do they “siphon” off

       species only to have
       them killed on the
       roadway?
Methods
• Preliminary Survey to
  test NatureMapping as a
  sampling method

• Used pre-existing
  NatureMapping
  Protocols
Methods
• Volunteers picked 1 or
  more roadsides they
  travel often (1, 2, or 5
  mile segments)
• Monitor as often as they
  can or whenever they
  see road kill
Methods
• Roadside vegetation
  documented using
  NatureMapping
  Habitat Codes
      (i.e. Cool Season Grass –
  

      brome, KY Bluegrass;
      Tallgrass prairie; Woody
      Fencerow; etc.)
      Entered as Habitat type
  

      (up to 6 different habitats,
      beginning with most
      abundant) in data form
Methods
• Adjacent habitats
  described in
  “Comments” section of
  data form
    Riparian corridors,

     waterways, forest,
     wetlands, fencerows
     intersecting roadways,
     etc.
Results
Wildlife species most reported on Road Kill Survey
Most Common Roadside Habitats – red bars are
mostly agricultural; least reported is prairie
Wildlife species most reported and the
 habitats in which they were found
Aerial view of some road kill study sites –
note the different kinds of habitat adjacent
                to roadways

Conclusions
• Top road kill species
  typical of most roads in
  Iowa
• Roadside habitat typical
  of most roads
• Prairie roadsides under
  represented!
Conclusions
• Course Dataset – not
  fine enough to detect an
  effect from Roadside
  vegetation
• However, data seems to
  indicate that adjacent
  habitat greatly impacts
  wildlife
Round Two: What we would
      do differently


      • Results Indicate need
        to fine-tune protocols
Round Two: What we would
      do differently


     • Assign Roadsides:
       Control for:
        Prairie roadsides

        Non-prairie roadsides

        Length & Width

        Adjacent Habitat

        Type of Roadway
Round Two: What we would
      do differently


     • Control for Time of
       Year
           Set definite sampling
       

           timeframes
Round Two: What we would
      do differently


     • Develop specific data
       entry forms for this
       project…
Round Two: What we would
      do differently


     …Integrating newest
     mapping technology with
     data submission and
     retrieval
