Comparing annual vertebrate road kills over two time periods, 9 years apart: a case study in Mediterranean farmland (2011, background): “This may be especially true for small mammals, on which barrier effects include the reluctance to cross roads, thereby leading to local extinctions (Rico et al. 2007; McGregor et al. 2008).”
Do species life history traits explain population responses to roads? A meta-analysis (2012, background): “the opening or clearing created by the road) (McGregor et al., 2008).”
The influence of body-size and diet on road-kill trends in mammals (2010, background): “Ontario ( McGregor et al. 2008 ), nor were densities of several small mammal species (Peromyscus formosus, Dipodomys merriami, Ammospermohilus leucurus, Neotoma lepida and Onychomys torridus) in Nevada (Garland and Bradley 1984).”
