Large carnivores (LC s), such as bears (U rsidae), are commonly believed to occur near
human settlements because they have a learned tolerance of humans (human habituation) …

Efforts to mitigate road effects are now common in new highway construction projects. For
effective mitigation of road effects it is important to identify the species whose populations …

1. Corridors are commonly used to connect fragments of wildlife habitat, yet the identification
of conservation corridors typically neglects processes of habitat selection and movement for …

National parks are important for conservation of species such as wolves (Canis lupus) and
elk (Cervus canadensis). However, topography, vegetation conditions, and anthropogenic …

Population fragmentation compromises population viability, reduces a species ability to
respond to climate change, and ultimately may reduce biodiversity. We studied the current …

Human activities today often cause landscape habitat fragmentation and blockage of wildlife
movements across landscapes and ecosystems. North American and European Union …

Roads cause functional habitat loss, alter movement patterns and can become ecological
traps for wildlife. Many of the negative effects of roads are likely to be a function of the …

Brown bears (Ursus arctos) are threatened by habitat loss, habitat fragmentation by
infrastructure and human settlements, and have been hunted to local extinction in large …

Roads can fragment and isolate wildlife populations, which will eventually decrease genetic
diversity within populations. Wildlife crossing structures may counteract these impacts, but …

Managing multiple parks, reserves, and conservation areas collectively as conservation
networks is a recent, yet growing trend. But in order for these networks to be ecologically …
