Predicting Hot Spots of Herpetofauna Road Mortality Along Highway Networks (2009, background): “…of animals upon approaching the road (Gibbs 1998, Shine et al. 2004, Andrews and Gibbons 2005), their behavior upon entering onto the road surface (Mazerolle 2004, Andrews and Gibbons 2005), and behavior of drivers encountering animals in the roadway (Langley et al. 1989, Ashley et al. 2007).”
Activity patterns of urban red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) reduce the risk of traffic-induced mortality (2007, unknown): “Consequently, traffic may exert a significant yet recent selective pressure, with individuals adopting movement patterns to minimize the risk posed by vehicles (Shine et al. 2004; Whittington et al. 2004; Andrews and Gibbons 2005; Jaeger et al. 2005).”
Reptile Road Mortality around an Oasis in the Illinois Corn Desert with Emphasis on the Endangered Eastern Massasauga (2008, background): “Other factors such as species vagility (Carr and Fahrig, 2001; Roe et al., 2006) and the speed and angle of crossing (Hels and Buchwald, 2001; Andrews and Gibbons, 2005) also affect the probability of encountering roads and being killed while crossing.”
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): “Like amphibians, some snakes also stop or move more slowly on roads, increasing their vulnerability to road mortality (Andrews and Gibbons 2005).”
The influence of body-size and diet on road-kill trends in mammals (2010, background): “The degree to which roads filter species thus depends on the response of each species to the road and will be determined by the particular characteristics of individual species (Andrews and Gibbons 2005; Bissonette and Adair 2008).”
