Activity patterns of urban red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) reduce the risk of traffic-induced mortality (2007, background): “…risk posed by vehicles (Slater 1994; Forman and Alexander 1998; Spellerberg 1998; Trombulak and Frissell 2000; Erritzoe et al. 2003; Jaeger et al. 2005), which can lead to local declines and changes in population structure (Fahrig et al. 1995; Mumme et al. 2000; Aresco 2005; Gibbs and Steen 2005).”
Vertebrate road-kill patterns in Mediterranean habitats: Who, when and where (2015, background): “Road-kills are a considerable threat for populations of many species (Fahrig et al., 1995; Mumme et al., 2000; Taylor et al., 2002).”
Piloting a Non-Invasive Genetic Sampling Method for Evaluating Population-Level Benefits of Wildlife Crossing Structures (2010, background): “Roads can be powerful influences on the demography and genetics of wildlife populations (Riley et al. 2006, Mumme et al. 2000, Marsh et al. 2008).”
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).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Impacts of Traffic Noise and Traffic Volume on Birds of Roadside Habitats (2009, background): “They currently support a variety of threatened species (e.g., Adam and Robinson 1996, Mumme et al. 2000, Williford et al. 2007).”
The value of monitoring wildlife roadkill (2020, background): “…and Ducatez 2013), and ‘ road-naïve ’ (immigrant) Florida scrub jays ( Aphelocoma coerulescens ) experienced yearly mortality of 50% in areas with roads, compared with 38% for ‘ road-experienced ’ birds (Mumme et al. 2000), showing the capacity for learning ‘ safe ’ behaviour around roads.”
The effect of sex-specific terrestrial movements and roads on the sex ratio of freshwater turtles (2005, background): “Some species prefer early successional, open habitats along roads for nesting or foraging (e.g., Florida scrub jay, Aphelocoma coerulescens; Mumme et al., 2000).”
EVALUATION OF A MULTIPLE‐SPECIES APPROACH TO MONITORING SPECIES AT THE ECOREGIONAL SCALE (2004, background): “For example, road-based surveys such as the Breeding Bird Survey have the potential to provide biased results for local areas because their placement is nonrandom and some taxa are affected by the presence and impacts of roads (e.g., Mumme et al. 2000, Robitaille and Aubry 2000).”
Comparative Permeability of Roads, Rivers, and Meadows to Songbirds in Banff National Park (2003, background): “Young Florida Scrub Jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens ) are especially prone to vehicle-induced mortality, but older birds living near roads have mortality rates comparable to those in habitats without roads (Mumme et al. 2000).”
No single solution: application of behavioural principles in mitigating human–wildlife conflict (2016, background): “…AVC mortality rates vary by sex, age and temperament (Mumme et al., 2000; Møller, Erritzøe, & Erritzøe, 2011; St Clair & Forrest, 2009), and experience and context (Donaldson, Finn, Bejder, Lusseau,& Calver, 2012; Mumme et al., 2000; Wolf & Croft, 2010), as well as vehicle type (Lima et al., 2015).”
