TLDR
A meta-analysis of studies that quantified the relationship between roads and/or traffic and population abundance of at least one species found that larger mammal species with lower reproductive rates, and greater mobilities, were more susceptible to negative road effects.About:

TL;DR: Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, it is found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in area with a low human footprint.

TL;DR: A cumulative measure of human modification of terrestrial lands based on modeling the physical extents of 13 anthropogenic stressors and their estimated impacts using spatially explicit global datasets with a median year of 2016 suggests that most of the world is in a state of intermediate modification and moderately modified ecoregions warrant elevated attention.

REVIEW: Beyond the fragmentation debate: a conceptual model to predict when habitat configuration really matters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify windows of opportunity where habitat configuration can mitigate to some extent the effects of habitat loss, particularly through the maintenance of functional connectivity, and they suggest that all species are, to a certain degree, sensitive to landscape change and that, assuming a homogeneous matrix, habitat configuration will have a higher influence on species.

Effects of road mortality and mitigation measures on amphibian populations.
TL;DR: There seems little likelihood that funding will be forthcoming to ameliorate the problem at the scale necessary to prevent further population declines, and there is scant evidence that such measures will protect populations over the long term.

Assessing large-scale wildlife responses to human infrastructure development.
TL;DR: A method for assessing the impacts from infrastructure on wildlife, based on functional response curves describing density reductions in birds and mammals, is presented, and applied to Spain as a case study, showing that most of the country is affected.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.

TL;DR: Road ecology is defined as using the science of ecology and landscape ecology to examine, understand, and address the interactions of roads and vehicles with their surrounding environment as mentioned in this paper, where case studies are provided to illustrate the feasiblilty of designing and building road systems which address both biodiversity and ecology and safe and efficient human mobility.

TL;DR: Public attitudes about the need for conservation of reptiles are probably linked to concern about amphibian declines and deformities, and counts of “officially” recognized endangered and threatened species are likely to grossly underestimate the actual number of imperiled s pecies.
