This corridor model is the union of least-cost corridors for mountain lions, mule deer, and badgers. It has informed land use plans, land acquisition, and management actions. Despite being in the vicinity of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area the corridor is still a functional connection between the protected areas on either end.</image:caption>

The top panel depicts a schematic representation where vulnerable populations are shown by red dots, and these vulnerable populations are lost in areas with higher road density. The middle panel shows a food web example before and after the extinctions induced by high road density. The map below shows the number of potentially lost trophic interactions due to roadkill, typically corresponding to areas with higher road density.</image:caption>

If bridges or culverts exist or are planned at these locations, they can be fitted to the species’ needs.  If there are no structures already proposed, they can then be added.</image:caption>

Left: priority site for savannah deer crossing, where we recommended a higher and longer bridge to facilitate their movement. Right: priority site for most species in our study. It was well-built: sufficient height for all species, vegetation cover for smaller species and open field of view for others, and long enough to permit free water flow alongside dry area for terrestrial species.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fig. 2: Example of a mortality-reduction graph (two scales are shown: 200 m and 2000 m for Highway 175 in Quebec, Canada). Based on the hotspots identified at the finer scale (200 m, shown in purple), fencing results in a steeper reduction of mortality. For example, as indicated by the fence symbol on the x-axis, fencing 32,000 m of the road using hotspots identified at the 2000-m scale is predicted to reduce road mortality by 65% (green line), but when hotspots identified at the 200-m scale are used, the fencing is predicted to reduce road mortality by 77% (purple line).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fig. 3: Illustration of the FLOMS trade-off: A few long or many short fences? To reduce roadkill by the same amount in this example, three 200-m fences or one 1000-m fence can be used, but the fence-end effect may result in a lower reduction in mortality when three short fences are used.</image:caption>
