The efficacy of highway wildlife collision mitigation in preventing elk mortality in central Ontario

2022-04-01

Abstract excerpt

In the Burwash area of north‐central Ontario, Canada, expansion of the Trans‐Canada highway from 2 to 4 lanes was accompanied by installation of a range of wildlife collision‐mitigation infrastructure (e.g., exclusion fencing, underpasses). To assess the overall effectiveness of these measures, we monitored the spatial distribution and mortality rates of elk (Cervus canadensis) prior to and following highway expan...
