摘要：Data on road-killed animals is essential for assessing the impact of roads on biodiversity. In most European countries data on road-killed huntable wildlife exists, but data on other vertebrate species (e.g. amphibians, reptiles, small mammals) is scarce. therefore, we conducted a citizen science project on road-killed vertebrates as a useful supplement to data on huntable wildlife collected by public authorities . The dataset contains 15198 reports with 17163 individual road-killed vertebrates collected by 912 participants . The reports were made in 44 countries, but the majority of data was reported in austria. We implemented a data validation routine which led to three quality levels. Reports in quality level 1 are published via GBIF, reports in quality level 2 via Zenodo and reports in quality level 3 were deleted . The dataset is relevant for the scientifc community studying impacts of roads on fauna as well as for those who are responsible for road planning and implementing mitigation measures.
