Do wildlife crossings actually help animals cross roads? Most studies have no way of knowing if animal movements are better or worse than before. "This is a major problem," says @kyliesoanes, lead author of the recently published review. Read the summary: transportecology.info/research/effec…

Just wrapped another successful science communication workshop for transport ecologists at #ANET2023 in New Zealand with @rodvdr. After, we had a great discussion about how to deal with negative engagement and "pile-ons" when communicating controversial science. @TransEcoInfo

An estimated 9 million dead mammals every year in Brazil alone. The @IUCNRedList does not consider roadkill a threat to most mammals. However, “roadkill is having a greater impact on wildlife survival than previously thought,” says Dr Fernando Pinto. transportecology.info/research/asses…
