Human Activity Differentially Redistributes Large Mammals in the Canadian Rockies National Parks (2011, background): “The Canadian Pacific Railway line, Trans Canada Highway (TCH), Highways 93 and 1A, and other lesser-used, secondary two-lane paved roads run through the national parks.”
Roads and wildlife: impacts, mitigation and implications for wildlife management in Australia (2010, background): “Highway mitigation fencing in Canada led to a 78% reduction in moose highway incursions and an 80% reduction in ungulate–vehicle collisions (Clevenger et al. 2001; Leblond et al. 2007), although concerns have been raised about the potential barrier effect (Olsson and Widen 2008).”
Factors Associated with use of Wildlife Underpasses and Importance of Long-Term Monitoring (2011, background): “Properly designed and located wildlife crossing structures (WCS) combined with adequate funnel fencing, have proven effective in reducing WVC and promoting permeability along highways (Clevenger et al. 2001, Dodd et al. 2007a, Olsson et al., 2008).”
Temporal trends in use of fauna-friendly underpasses and overpasses (2008, unknown): “Initially, roadside exclu- In 2004, a diverse array of fauna crossing and road-kill mitigasion fencing was adopted, with some success in reducing tion structures were constructed on Compton Road in southwildlife-vehicle collisions (Clevenger et al. 2001; Forman et al. eastern Queensland. 2003).”
Combining resource selection and movement behavior to predict corridors for Canada lynx at their southern range periphery (2013, background): “Carnivores are especially vulnerable to highway-caused mortality in areas with dense and hightraffic volume roadways (Clevenger et al., 2001).”
Why Did the Snake Cross the Road? Effects of Roads on Movement and Location of Mates by Garter Snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) (2004, background): “Reptiles have attracted less scientific attention in this respect than have groups such as ungulates (e.g., Waring et al. 1991, Groot Bruinderink and Hazebroek 1996, Putman 1997, Clevenger et al. 2001, Nielsen et al. 2003, Rea 2003).”

Characteristics of Ungulate Behavior and Mortality Associated with Wire Fences (2006, background): “Agriculture and highway construction have been reported to be major sources of habitat fragmentation (Mackie 1981, Clevenger et al. 2001, Forman et al. 2003).”

Elk population dynamics in areas with and without predation by recolonizing wolves in Banff National Park, Alberta (2002, background): “Fencing of the TCH in 1991 reduced human-caused mortality in the central zone (Clevenger et al. 2001), thereby increasing population growth rates and densities.”
