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

The Rauischholzhausen Agenda for Road Ecology (2007, background): “Although there is now a growing body of evidence of the negative impacts of roads on wildlife (Trombulak and Frissell 2000, Underhill and Angold 2000, Forman et al. 2002, Sherwood et al. 2002, Spellerberg 2002), ecological research has had comparatively little effect on decision making in…”
Highways block gene flow and cause a rapid decline in genetic diversity of desert bighorn sheep (2005, background): “Today the earth’s surface is partitioned by an estimated c. 28 million km of highways (CIA 2003) that restrict the movement of many species (Trombulak & Frissell 2000; Underhill & Angold 2000 ).”
Comparing annual vertebrate road kills over two time periods, 9 years apart: a case study in Mediterranean farmland (2011, background): “Mitigation measures must take place for each vertebrate group and must be defined specifically taking into account species behaviour and ecological needs (Caro et al. 2000; Underhill and Angold 2000; Iuell et al. 2003; Grilo et al. 2008).”
