Methodologies for surveying herpetofauna mortality on rural highways
Article Abstract:
A number surveys conducted to determine accuracy and efficiency to identify hotspots of road-mortality for hazard assessment and mitigation indicate that it is possible to design a valid, efficient methodology for locating hotspots of reptile and amphibian road-mortality along a road network to pinpoint priority sites for mitigation.

Raccoon removal on sea turtle nesting beaches
Article Abstract:
The study results of the intraspecific effects of predator removal by comparing 2 Florida, U.S., raccoon (Procyon lotor) populations that are managed to decrease sea turtle egg mortality suggest that adult males dominate the recolonization of removal areas and the presence of juveniles on the beach is due to predispersal behavior.

Mitigation measures to reduce highway mortality of turtles and other herpetofauna at a north Florida lake
Article Abstract:
Roads and highways built through or near the wetlands cause significant mortality of reptiles and amphibians and other hetrofauna that attempts to cross highway during draught periods or migration and dispersal. Methods of reducing road mortality and facilitating highway crossings are tested.
