Wildlife–vehicle collision mitigation: Is partial fencing the answer? An agent-based model approach.

Evaluating management options for mitigating the impacts of wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVC) is a major goal for road ecology. Fencing along roads in conjunction with the construction of wildlife road passages has been widely accepted as the most effective way to minimize WVC. However, limited resources often require wildlife managers to focus on a single method of mitigation, yet the relative effectiveness of fences and passages for reducing road mortality and restoring population connectivity is unclear. Using the stone marten (Martes foina, Erxleben, 1777) as a model species, we developed an individual-based, spatially explicit simulation model to develop predictions concerning the relative performance of fencing and passage construction under different rates of road mortality. For five levels each, we varied probability of road mortality, fencing extent, and number of passages in a full factorial design, for a …
