Abstract
It is an evident fact nowadays the increasingly road density as a result of a growing development in the transport network, this subjet is links with urban growth and it is put in appearance in peri-urban areas. In most of the studies that evaluate road effects on biological diversity with a population approach effects, evidence is seriously difficult in relationship with metodology, but this communication presents the effects of previous and subsequent phases to the infrastructure construction (R-2 Madrid) in locations of birds. The «Proyecto Avutarda» in the National Museum of Natural Sciences (Madrid) is trying to improve the knowledge of this subjet: the great bustard (Otis tarda) population, a globally endangered species, in a protected area of central Spain, through time series analysis (1997-2009) of demographic data, including the previous and subsequent phases to the infrastructure construction. The results suggest that the highway has had some negative effects on population spatial use.
