Agriculture and development transform forest ecosystems to human‐modified landscapes.
Decades of research in ecology have generated myriad concepts for the appropriate …

It is projected that 25 million km of new paved roads will be developed globally by 2050—
enough to encircle the planet more than 600 times. Roughly 90% of new roads will be built …

▪ Abstract A huge road network with vehicles ramifies across the land, representing a
surprising frontier of ecology. Species-rich roadsides are conduits for few species. Roadkills …

Roads are a widespread and increasing feature of most landscapes. We reviewed the
scientific literature on the ecological effects of roads and found support for the general …

We attempted a complete review of the empirical literature on effects of roads and traffic on
animal abundance and distribution. We found 79 studies, with results for 131 species and 30 …

Humans have spread an enormous net over the land. As the largest human artifact on earth,
this vast, nearly five million mile (8 million km) road network used by a quarter billion …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are among the largest threats to amphibian populations.
However, most studies have not provided clear insights into their population-level …

This survey of the literature on the ecological effects of roads and traffic revealed many
articles published over many years in peer reviewed journals. There has also been a …

If conservation efforts are to be successful, it is critical that we understand the relationship
between habitat loss and the probability of population extinction. Available evidence …

Ecological flows and biological diversity trace broad patterns across the landscape, whereas
transportation planning for human mobility traditionally focuses on a narrow strip close to a …
