Abstract

Supplemental material is available for this note online. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Roadways are frequently associated with negative effects on wildlife, including direct effects such as vehicular fatalities, barriers to transit, removal of vegetation, habitat loss, edge effects, and corridor effects (e.g., Bennet 1991; Seiler 2003; Coffin 2007; Fahrig & Rytwinski 2009; Chen & Koprowski 2019), as well as indirect effects such as vehicle noise and artificial light (Goodwin & Shriver 2011; Shannon et al. 2014; Bliss-Ketchum et al. 2016; Troïanowski et al. 2017). Yet, many species of wildlife occur along roadways (Fahrig & Rytwinski 2009; Sparks & Gates 2012) as roadways can provide some positive benefits. For example, vegetation along roadways can provide refuges (e.g., Ruiz-Capillas et al. 2013) and can support a diversity of small mammals (e.g., Gonzalez-Olimon et al. 2016). Roadways can provide foraging and scavenging substrates and use of structures along roadways such as powerlines and poles provide perches for hunting for birds (Morelli et al. 2014).
