Review of ecological effects of roads on terrestrial and aquatic communities

Article Abstract:

The study reveals that roads influence species compositional changes, population sizes, and the aquatic and riparian systems in negative ways. Case senarios are presented citing human mortality, modification of animal behavior, disruption of physical environment, alteration of the chemical environment, spread of exotic species, and change in land and water use as examples.

On the future of conservation biology

Article Abstract:

Future trends in community ecology will focus on the species in the context of their natural history. Another area that needs immediate attention is the description and mapping of the world biodata and Earth's biodiversity by the "naturalists" embracing electronic revolution for establishing electronic databases.
