Do well-connected landscapes promote road-related mortality?
Cost surface (CS) models have emerged as a useful tool to examine the interactions between landscapes patterns and wildlife at large-scale extents. This approach is particularly... -
The impacts of roads and other infrastructure on mammal and bird populations:...
Biodiversity is being lost at an increased rate as a result of human activities. One of the major threats to biodiversity is infrastructural development. We used meta-analyses... -
