Small mammal microhabitat use and species composition at a wildlife crossing structure compared with nearby forest
Expanding transportation corridors have fragmented ecosystems throughout the world, restricting the movement of organisms or acting as complete connectivity barriers. Wildlife crossing structures (WCS) can increase the permeability of roads, allowing animals to move safely between habitats. Small …

Linking land use and transportation : measuring the impact of neighborhood-scale spatial patterns on travel behavior
… aims to understand how changes in land use and transportation regulations at a local level could affect travel behavior such as trip-linking and mode choice. Studies indicate that the geographic distribution of jobs and population is far more crucial than population growth alone in creating …

Seasonal use and mortalities of mammals along the Phalaborwa – Hoedspruit railway line in Balule Nature Reserve, South Africa.
Railways are essential transportation corridors that facilitate the movement of goods and people with important environmental and economic benefits. Despite these benefits, railways and trains can negatively affect wildlife through mortalities, barrier effects, disturbances, and habitat loss. There …
