Effects of road density and pattern on the conservation of species and biodiversity
VJ Bennett - Current Landscape Ecology Reports, 2017 - Springer
The development and presence of roads can reduce landscape permeability, lead to habitat
loss, and increase habitat fragmentation. It is these fundamental changes in landscape …

Impacts of road deicing salts on the early-life growth and development of a stream salmonid: salt type matters
The use of road deicing salts in regions that experience cold winters is increasing the
salinity of freshwater ecosystems, which threatens freshwater resources. Yet, the impacts of …

Railway ecology: Underrepresented in science?
Over the past two decades, the effects of roads on wildlife have been extensively studied.
Theoretically, railways cause similar effects as well, yet ecologists do not understand the …
