• Non-physical barriers to deter fish movements (2012, background): “For instance, roads and vehicle traffic are well-recognized sources of mortality for wildlife, and also are known to limit animal dispersal (e.g., Forman and Alexander 1998; Clevenger et al. 2003; Gibbs and Shriver 2005).”
• Predicting Hot Spots of Herpetofauna Road Mortality Along Highway Networks (2009, background): “…best-practices for reducing herpetofauna road mortality and maintaining connectivity are implemented systemically throughout a highway network, some species are likely to decline in landscapes that contain extensive road grids (Gibbs and Shriver 2002, 2005; Roe et al. 2006; Compton et al. 2007).”
• Amphibian road mortality in Europe: a meta-analysis with new data from Poland (2009, methodology): “In most cases, only a fraction of the population crosses the surveyed section of the road, and thus the road-crossing mortality (i.e., mortality calculated for this fraction only) is higher than the road mortality of the entire population, which can be estimated by complex modeling as employed by G”
• Demographic effects of road mortality in black ratsnakes (Elaphe obsoleta) (2007, unknown): “Furthermore, road networks can also cause heavy mortality (Rosen and Lowe, 1994; Trombulak and Frissell, 2000; Seiler et al., 2004; Mazerolle, 2004) for many species of animals and can alter the demographics of the surrounding populations (Mumme et al., 2000; Aresco, 2005; Gibbs and Steen, 2005).”
• The value of monitoring wildlife roadkill (2020, unknown): “…can, however, be significant; populations of Blanding ’ s turtles ( Emydoidea blandingii ; Beaudry et al. 2008), spotted salamanders ( Ambystoma maculatum ; Gibbs and Shriver 2005), and jaguars ( Panthera onca ; Cullen et al. 2016) have been found to be under threat of extinction due to roads.”
