Roads fragment landscapes and trigger human colonization and degradation of
ecosystems, to the detriment of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. The planet's remaining …

Roads now penetrate even the most remote parts of much of the world, but the majority of
research on the effects of roads on biota has been in less remote temperate environments …

Habitat loss and deterioration represent the main threats to wildlife species, and are closely
linked to the expansion of roads and human settlements. Unfortunately, large-scale effects of …

Roads, while central to the function of human society, create barriers to animal movement
through collisions and habitat fragmentation. Barriers to animal movement affect the …

Aim Land‐use change is a major threat to biodiversity globally. Roads cause direct mortality
and limitation of individual movements, which may isolate populations and affect their …

Roads are one of the most prevalent threats to wildlife because they fragment landscapes
and increase mortality. In response to the threat of roads to population persistence, road …

Linear infrastructures, one of several forms of land-use, are a major driver of biodiversity
loss. Roads impact populations at many levels, with direct road mortality and barrier effect …

In urban environments, roads are one of the major threats for moving animals. Roads can
act as barriers to movement either through mortality during crossing attempts or through …

Wildlife mortality caused by collisions with vehicles on roads is increasingly and effectively
mitigated with exclusion fencing and crossing structures, but this solution potentially …

Previous studies have found that the relationship between wildlife road mortality and traffic
volume follows a threshold effect on low traffic volume roads. We aimed at evaluating the …
