Comparing annual vertebrate road kills over two time periods, 9 years apart: a case study in Mediterranean farmland (2011, background): “This may be especially true for small mammals, on which barrier effects include the reluctance to cross roads, thereby leading to local extinctions ( Rico et al. 2007; McGregor et al. 2008).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Behavioral Responses of Northern Leopard Frogs (Rana pipiens) to Roads and Traffic: Implications for Population Persistence (2009, background): “Several studies have documented that small mammals avoid going onto roads, probably due to the lack of protective cover on the road surface (Oxley et al. 1974, Kozel and Fleharty 1979, Rico et al. 2007, Ford and Fahrig 2008, McGregor et al. 2008).”
