Roads impede ecological flows through landscapes, mainly by acting as barriers to animal movement, reducing habitat connectivity and increasing animal mortality. Road permeability is not homogeneous, and animals perceive ...

Road crossings of roads are important components of the road network. However, they generally are not explicit in the existing research on extraction of road network. This is due to the wide variety of road crossings may ...

Roads affect flora and fauna across the world. Large mammals are particularly vulnerable to road effects because their large home ranges lead to a higher probability of contact with road networks. Disturbance associated ...

Road widening (a.k.a. road dualling) and the presence of mitigation structures may have opposing effects on the number of animal-vehicle collisions. Their influence in tropical areas is poorly quantified, and we know little ...

Effects of roads on wildlife and its habitat have been measured using metrics, such as the nearest road distance, road density, and effective mesh size. In this work we introduce two new indices: (1) Integral Road Effect ...

Reducing connectivity, road networks may threaten the effectiveness of natural reserves, thus, representing acritical conservation matter. This work aims to: 1) evaluate the relationship between native vegetation cover and ...
