Abstract: Abstract:The effects of habitat fragmentation and deforestation are exacerbated by some elements, such as roads and power lines, which may become filters or barriers to wildlife movements. In order to mitigate mortality and restore connectivity, wildlife passages are being constructed as linear corridors. The installation of these mitigation measures must be followed by systematic monitoring, in order to evaluate their use and effectiveness, to assist in their management, and to convince stakeholders of their … Show more

“…Nevertheless, two studies speculated that crossing structures were still biologically effective as low crossing frequencies may be enough to maintain functional connectivity [105,106]. A study on bear species in Canada supported this theory by revealing that while structures were not frequently used, overall use was sufficient to ensure gene flow between populations [107].…”

“…Many rope bridges, or canopy bridges, have been installed worldwide to mitigate negative impacts on arboreal species, including several opossum, monkey, dormouse and squirrel species (Norwood 1999, Teixeira et al 2013, Sonoda 2014. In the eastern parts of Australia, rope bridges have been built for gliders, possums, and koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus); however, monitoring of the use of these structures by the target species is still limited to a handful of cases (Weston et al 2011, Goldingay et al 2013, Soanes et al 2013, and assessment of factors influencing the use of these structures is lacking.…”

“…Roads are also fenced at places of frequent AVCs (Forman and Alexander ), audio and optical signal systems are installed to discourage animals from crossing roads (Rowden et al ), and speed limits, warning signals (Al‐Ghamdi and AlGadhi ), and thermal sensors draw the attention of drivers to the presence of large animals (Hirota et al ). Despite many of these measures and constructions, traffic accidents caused by animals are increasing (Iuell et al ) perhaps because systems to identify AVC clusters are often determined separately for different taxonomic groups (Iuell et al , Glista et al ), by different numbers of observers, or with differing frequency and duration of surveys (Teixeira et al ). With differing methodologies, some road kills may be missed and mortality may be underestimated when there is a long time interval between searches for AVCs or species with soft or small bodies, which rapidly decay (Gerow et al , Guinard et al ).…”
