Spring migration distances of some Central European amphibian species (2009, background): “An important special case of these relationships is connected with road crossing and associated mortality (Carr and Fahrig, 2001; Eigenbrod et al., 2008).”
Green Frogs Show Reduced Foraging Success in Habitats Invaded by Japanese knotweed (2005, background): “Roads in particular limit the ability of amphibians to move among terrestrial habitats (deMaynadier and Hunter 2000; Carr and Fahrig 2001) while simultaneously facilitating the spread of invasive plants into those habitats.”
Gene Flow in Complex Landscapes: Testing Multiple Hypotheses with Causal Modeling (2006, background): “All rights reserved. crease mortality (Fahrig et al. 1995; Carr and Fahrig 2001), and reduce genetic diversity (Saccheri et al. 2001; Frankham et al. 2002; Vilà et al. 2002), thereby increasing extinction risk (Lande 1988; Tallmon et al. 2004).”
Do species life history traits explain population responses to roads? A meta-analysis (2012, background): “The first set of hypotheses argues that highly mobile species should be more negatively affected because they interact with roads more often than do less-mobile species (Carr and Fahrig, 2001; Gibbs and Shriver, 2002; Forman et al., 2003; Rytwinski and Fahrig, 2011).”
The evolution of density‐dependent dispersal in a noisy spatial population model (2006, background): “Furthermore it is well known that animals crossing roads experience increased mortality (Ashley and Robinson 1996, Bonnet et al. 1999, Carr and Fahrig 2001, Aresco 2003).”
Effect of landscape context on anuran communities in breeding ponds in the National Capital Region, Canada (2007, methodology): “In addition, landscape variables have been shown to affect amphibian abundance and species richness at distances as great as 1.5 km (Carr and Fahrig 2001) and 3 km (Houlahan and Findlay 2003), respectively.”
Landscape genetics of the Alpine newt (Mesotriton alpestris) inferred from a strip-based approach (2011, background): “Because increasing fragmentation tends to reduce the quality of the environment between patches (Fahrig et al. 1995; Carr and Fahrig 2001),”
Effects of Roads on Animal Abundance: an Empirical Review and Synthesis (2009, background): “…(2003) Eigenbrod et al. (2008a) Trenham et al. (2003) Carr and Fahrig (2001) leopard frog (Rana pipiens) negative neutral Eigenbrod et al. (2008a) Carr and Fahrig (2001) Trenham et al. (2003) mink frog (Rana septentrionalis) negative Houlahan and Findlay (2003) wood frog (Rana sylvatica)…”
Comparing annual vertebrate road kills over two time periods, 9 years apart: a case study in Mediterranean farmland (2011, background): “Several studies have revealed a negative correlation between the amphibian anuran species' relative abundance and traffic density (Fahrig et al. 1995; Carr and Fahrig 2001; Hels and Buchwald 2001), between anuran pond occupancy and road density (Vos and Chardon 1998), and between species richness in”
Effects of landscape characteristics on amphibian distribution in a forest-dominated landscape (2005, background): “Nevertheless, a growing body of work suggests that roads negatively affect amphibian persistence through mortality and fragmentation of populations (Fahrig et al., 1995; Findlay and Houlahan, 1997; Vos and Chardon, 1998; Carr and Fahrig, 2001).”
Amphibian road mortality in Europe: a meta-analysis with new data from Poland (2009, background): “…unknown what species are actually most affected by road mortality rather than best represented in road-kill counts except that sedentary species that live in or close to their breeding waters all year round are expectedly less vulnerable than mobile, migratory species (Carr and Fahrig 2001).”
Optimizing landscape selection for estimating relative effects of landscape variables on ecological responses (2013, methodology): “Carr and Fahrig (2001) used this approach to select a set of landscapes such that low and high road density landscapes were intermixed across the region.”
Assessing threats to pool-breeding amphibian habitat in an urbanizing landscape (2009, background): “median 7 Reh and Seitz (1990); Hitchings and Beebee (1998); Carr and Fahrig (2001);”
A FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING THE RELATIVE VULNERABILITY OF SPECIES TO LAND-USE CHANGE (2004, background): “Some studies suggest that species with large dispersal are most affected by habitat loss (Gibbs 1998, Thomas 2000, Carr and Fahrig 2001), whereas others have found the opposite pattern (Laurance 1990, Lens et al. 2002).”
