Roads and ecological infrastructure: concepts and applications for small animals / Kimberly M. Andrews (2015)  

Public ISBD Titre : Roads and ecological infrastructure: concepts and applications for small animals Type de document : livre Auteurs : Kimberly M. Andrews, Éditeur scientifique ; Priya Nanjappa, Éditeur scientifique ; Seth P. D. Riley, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Baltimore, Maryland : Johns Hopkins University Press Année de publication : 2015 Autre Editeur : Bethesta, Maryland [Etats-Unis] : The Wildlife Society Collection : Wildlife management and conservation Importance : 281 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4214-1639-7 Prix : 75.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Wildlife conservation  Animal behavior  Wildlife crossings  Roads  Infrastructure Résumé : Few of us think twice about driving on roads. Yet the very presence of roads and the act of driving on them can impact the ecological infrastructure that supports an animal’s daily life. What chance does a turtle have of successfully laying its eggs when it needs to traverse a busy highway? Is it realistic to expect small mammals to breed when an interstate thoroughfare subdivides their population? These are the sorts of challenges faced by small, often slow-moving, animals, challenges that road engineers and ecologists are trying to address. For countless small species, vehicles traveling at high speeds are nothing less than missiles shooting across migration pathways. For too many animals, the danger can lead to the loss of populations, in part because they simply are not programmed to react to traffic. Salamanders faced with a two-lane road between the forest and their aquatic breeding site, for example, will typically cross that road regardless of the congestion. The result can be hundreds of flattened animals in a single night. Roads and Ecological Infrastructure is the first book to focus on reducing conflict between roads and small animals. Highlighting habitat connections and the challenges and solutions from both transportation and ecological perspectives, the volume covers various themes, including animal behavior related to roads and design approaches to mitigate the negative effects of roads on wildlife. The chapter authors—from transportation experts to university researchers—each promote a goal of realistic problem solving. Conceptual and practical, this book will influence the next decade or more of road design in ecologically sensitive areas and should prevent countless unnecessary wildlife fatalities.

Road ecology: science and solutions / Richard T. T. Forman (2003)

Forman, Auteur ; Sperling, D., Auteur ; BISSONETTE, J.A. ; CLEVENGER, A.P., Auteur ; Cutshall, C.D., Auteur ; Dale, V.H., Auteur ; FAHRIG, L., Auteur ; France, R., Auteur ; Goldman, C.R., Auteur ; Heanue, K., Auteur ; JONES, J.A., Auteur ; SWANSON, F.J., Auteur ; Turrentine, T., Auteur ; Winter, T.C., Auteur Editeur : Washington, D.C. : Island Press Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 481 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-55963-933-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Automobiles  Environmental aspects  Roads  Roadside ecology Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : A central goal of transportation is the delivery of safe and efficient services with minimal environmental impact. In practice, though, human mobility has flourished while nature has suffered. Awareness of the environmental impacts of roads is increasing, yet information remains scarce for those interested in studying, understanding, or minimizing the ecological effects of roads and vehicles. Road Ecology addresses that shortcoming by elevating previously localized and fragmented knowledge into a broad and inclusive framework for understanding and developing solutions. The book brings together fourteen leading ecologists and transportation experts to articulate state-of-the-science road ecology principles, and presents specific examples that demonstrate the application of those principles. Diverse theories, concepts, and models in the new field of road ecology are integrated to establish a coherent framework for transportation policy, planning, and projects. Topics examined include: * foundations of road ecology * roads, vehicles, and transportation planning * vegetation and roadsides * wildlife populations and mitigation * water, sediment, and chemical flows * aquatic ecosystems * wind, noise, and atmospheric effects * road networks and landscape fragmentation Road Ecology links ecological theories and concepts with transportation planning, engineering, and travel behavior. With more than 100 illustrations and examples from around the world, it is an indispensable and pioneering work for anyone involved with transportation, including practitioners and planners in state and province transportation departments, federal agencies, and nongovernmental organizations. The book also opens up an important new research frontier for ecologists. En ligne : https://islandpress.org/books/road-ecology Road ecology: science and solutions [livre] / Richard T. T.
