Comparative permeability of roads, rivers, and meadows to songbirds in Banff National Park
Article Abstract:
Results indicate that the response to barriers by montane birds depends on the degree of their forest adaptation. Data show that forest birds cross roads and meadows but less likely to cross rivers. Together, research suggests the influence of evolutionary history and that the birds do not perceive the risk of mortality posed by road traffic.

The scientific foundation of habitat conservation plans: a quantitative assessment
Article Abstract:
The scientific foundation of habitat conservation plans has been assessed quantitatively for 43 plans. Secondarily the extent of involvement by, and influence of, independent scientists within the process was evaluated. Available scientific information categories was fairly well used in a majority of categories, overall.

Factors influencing the effectiveness of wildlife underpasses in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
Article Abstract:
Results show that ungulates frequent underpass more than the carnivores in the presence of human activity. Data further indicate that landscape variables go hand-in-hand with carnivores whereas ungulates prefer structural variables in their responses to underpasses.
