Raptor Vehicle Collision Admissions in England and Wales, 2001–2019

164.9 KB of geo-referenced wildlife rehabilitation centre admissions data for raptors admitted following vehicle collisions in England and Wales from 2001 to 2019. The repository includes the dataset, reproducible R analysis code, and metadata from Laurie et al. (2026). It was published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Model raptor mortality risk on different road types based on geo-referenced admission locations.
• Analyze temporal trends in raptor-vehicle collisions over the 2001–2019 period.
• Reproduce statistical analyses of collision frequency and mortality using the provided R scripts.

Strengths

• Includes reproducible R analysis scripts for full statistical workflow.
• Data is geo-referenced, enabling spatial analysis of collision locations.
• Coverage spans 19 years (2001–2019) across England and Wales.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
