Relative effects of road mortality and decreased connectivity on population genetic diversity (2011, background): “…proportions of crossing attempts result in death in a variety of organisms (e.g., Bouchard et al., 2009; Freeman, 2010; McCall et al., 2010; Row et al., 2007; Soluk, 2011) and roads are thought to be the largest cause of mortality in several medium to large-sized vertebrates (reviewed in…”
Predicting Hot Spots of Herpetofauna Road Mortality Along Highway Networks (2009, background): “Road mortality or the barrier effect of roads can alter demographic and genetic structures of reptile and amphibian populations (Reh and Seitz 1990, Lesbarrères et al. 2003, Steen and Gibbs 2004, Row et al. 2007).”
Roadkills of vertebrate species on two highways through the Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve, southern Brazil (2008, background): “Associated with fragmentation effects of roads, casualties can result in population declines, inbreeding, and local extinctions (Forman et al. 2003; Row et al. 2007 ).”
Terrestrial habitat requirements of nesting freshwater turtles (2012, background): “Modeling is required to estimate the relationship between various protection boundaries we delineate here and population-level effects of adult mortality or nest-site loss resulting from development (e.g., Gibbs and Shriver, 2002; Row et al., 2007).”
