TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the effect of road conditions on the persistence of animal populations and found that road conditions affect animal populations detrimentally in four ways: they decrease habitat amount and quality, enhance mortality due to collisions with vehicles, prevent access to resources on the other side of the road, and subdivide animal populations into smaller and more vulnerable fractions.

TL;DR: The relationship between home range area and dispersal distance in mammals was found to be isometric when the square root of home range areas (i.e., linear dimension of the home range) was used as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The approach provides an efficient and cost effective method of predicting areas with relatively high landscape connectivity for multiple species and found that amphibians and reptiles were more likely to cross roads in areas of high current density, and fishers used areas with high currentdensity within their home ranges.

TL;DR: The effect that different kinds of immigration behaviors will have on population density are considered and it is demonstrated that only a minority of possible scenarios produce positive density vs. patch size relationships.

TL;DR: Red-backed voles, the most abundant microtine in the region, were significantly related to the abundance of the most decayed logs, but this relationship was only significant on the intensively managed landscape, where highly decays logs were rare.
