The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Predicting Hot Spots of Herpetofauna Road Mortality Along Highway Networks (2009, background): “…a random design to guarantee that the road network was thoroughly and evenly sampled; systematic designs have some advantages and few disadvantages relative to a random design, except in the highly unlikely event of periodic spatial patterns that correspond to the sampling interval (Krebs 1999).”
Black bear adaptation to low productivity in the boreal forest (2008, background): “Finally, forest roads that increase access could be used as travel corridors (Bennett, 1991; Noss, 2001) or provide conditions that improve predator efficiency (Bergerud, 1981; James & Stuart-Smith, 2000).”
The influence of body-size and diet on road-kill trends in mammals (2010, background): “Roads have the potential to negatively impact animals in a number of ways (reviewed in Bennett 1991; Trombulak and Frissell 2000; Spellerberg 2002; Forman et al. 2003).”
Performance indices to identify attributes of highway crossing structures facilitating movement of large mammals (2005, background): “In order to mitigate the effects of roads, crossing structures for wildlife are being designed and incorporated into road construction and improvement projects (Keller and Pfister, 1997; Spellerberg, 2002; Forman et al., 2003; Cain et al., 2003).”
