From roadkill to road ecology : a review of the ecological effects of roads
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of roads can be measured in both abiotic and biotic components of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and the increasing attention of scientists to the unintended ecological effects of road systems has resulted in the emergence of the science of road ecology, marked with the publication of a multi-authored volume, Road Ecology: Science and Solutions.

The spatial structure of networks
Michael T. Gastner,Mark Newman +1 more
TL;DR: There are strong signatures in these networks of topography and use patterns, giving the networks shapes that are quite distinct from one another and from non-geographic networks.

The complexity and robustness of metro networks
TL;DR: Looking at 33 metro systems in the world, network science methodologies are adapted to the transportation literature, and one application to the robustness of metros is offered; here, metro refers to urban rail transit with exclusive right-of-way, whether it is underground, at grade or elevated.

Form Follows Function? Linking Morphological and Functional Polycentricity:
Martijn Burger,Evert Meijers +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that most regions tend to be more morphologically polycentric than functionally polycentric, which is largely explained by the size, external connectivity and degree of self-sufficiency of a region’s principal centre.

Measuring the Structure of Road Networks
Feng Xie,David Levinson +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that the differentiated structures of road networks can be evaluated by the measure of entropy; predefined connection patterns of arterial roads can be identified and quantified by the measures of ringness, webness, beltness, circuitness, and treeness.
