...Radika J. Michniewicz; Jodie Danvers ABSTRACT Combined drainage/fauna culverts and dedicated fauna underpasses are routinely used to mitigate the potential barrier effects of roads and reduce road-related mortality. To determine the success of underpasses constructed as part the Pacific Highway...

Attempts have been made to reduce the magnitude of these threats by constructing "underpasses" designed to permit...

... al. 2006), there is substantial evidence that roads or trails may act as barriers to the movement of animals due to behavioural avoidance, the presence of a physical barrier or development of a home range along the physical barrier (Donaldson and Bennett 2004). The extent to which roads act...

... of frogs (Fahrig et al. 1995; Carr and Fahrig 2001), presumably due to high road mortality. This can lead to genetic structuring of populations when roads create a barrier effect for some species (Reh and Seitz 1990). Findlay and Bourdages (2000) suggested that there are time lags in impacts, possibly...

... was estimated at $91.3 million (McLeod 2023) of which $4.5 million directly resulted from vehicle collisions (road and railway). The fringe of urban habitat characterised by lower density settlements surrounded by vegetation (garden, parks, nature reserves), provides abundant food and shelter resources often...

..., and artificial lighting (street lighting) likely impacted nocturnal activity. Increased vigilance may be due to increased human activity, and visual barriers in developed landscapes that reduce the line of sight. Reduced feeding time is probably due to the increased nutritional content of pasture grasses...

... or temporary road signs during nesting season around wetlands with high adult mortality is a common way to alert drivers, however barriers to redirect the movement of turtles at road access points could also be considered. The installation of roadway mitigation measures is becoming increasingly common...

...-Goorianawa roads was used to define a boundary here. A few small outlying volcanic outcrops extend across this boundary, typically as basalt-capped hills. Coonabarabran and Baradine townships and Gwabegar village, all located on the edge of the Pilliga Forest (Fig. 1), were included in the study area...

... Litoria aurea . The development proposal included features that might reduce the potential for L. aurea movement between these habitats, including the construction of a road to the wharf, a car park south of the wharf and the replacement of some areas of tall native grass with mown turf to create a picnic...

... al. 2015; Burton and Tribe 2016). Roads with high volumes of traffic, such as highways and freeways, can present major barriers for dispersal, limiting movement and gene flow among koala populations and exacerbating the effects of habitat fragmentation (Goldingay and Dobner 2013; Lee et al. 2010...

The indications are that toads migrated through heavily forested steep escarpment to the east, rather than along the road network...

New approaches to urban restoration are urgently needed that suit the small fragments of space available, and that can deliver...
