Path tortuosity and the permeability of roads and trails to wolf movement (2004, background): “…bears (Ursus americanus), caribou (Rangifer tarandus), and hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) crossed high-use roads less often than expected, whereas low-use roads and seismic lines did not seem to affect their movement patterns (Serrouya 1999, Dyer 1999, Rondinini and Doncaster 2002, respectively).”
Activity patterns of urban red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) reduce the risk of traffic-induced mortality (2007, unknown): “Such within-range adjustments may be evident from comparisons of real and simulated patterns of movement (Rondinini and Doncaster 2002; Whittington et al. 2004).”
Do species life history traits explain population responses to roads? A meta-analysis (2012, result): “Similarly, a common issue with past empirical studies of road avoidance is that studies were conducted across a range of road sizes, where larger roads were both wider and had higher traffic volumes (e.g. Oxley et al., 1974; Lovallo and Anderson, 1996; Rondinini and Doncaster, 2002).”
Comparing annual vertebrate road kills over two time periods, 9 years apart: a case study in Mediterranean farmland (2011, background): “This roadside invasion, which resulted in the destruction of verges, may have temporarily decreased the density of hedgehogs and rabbits on verges (Rondinini and Doncaster 2002; Bautista et al. 2004), thereby lowering their probability of being killed during the first year of our study.”
Comparative Permeability of Roads, Rivers, and Meadows to Songbirds in Banff National Park (2003, background): “Diverse other species also avoid gaps in habitat cover (e.g., Bright 1998; Haddad 1999), including roads (Mader 1984; Alexander & Waters 2000; Gerlach & Musolf 2000; Gibeau et al. 2002; Rondinini & Doncaster 2002).”
Do small mammals avoid roads because of the traffic (2007, unknown): “Oxley et al . 1974; Mader 1984; Brody & Pelton 1989; Mader et al . 1990; Lovallo & Anderson 1996; Rondinini & Doncaster 2002; Whittington et al . 2004).”
Nocturnal ranging behaviour of urban hedgehogs, Erinaceus europaeus, in relation to risk and reward (2010, background): “…movement patterns have suggested that major roads carrying large volumes of traffic are a major obstacle to the movements of urban hedgehogs (Rondinini & Doncaster 2002) and that, for the most part, they tend to occupy the quieter suburbs where traffic volume is substantially lower: whether…”
