The movement and dispersal of animals between populations is an important component of wildlife ecology and has been described as “the glue that holds local populations together.” Without adequate ability to disperse, the rate of movement of individuals and DNA between populations is reduced and these populations become isolated, increasing the risk of local extinction. Most research addressing the barrier effect of roads and traffic has focussed on the use of crossing structures by wildlife. Our study is a first for Australia and represents a unique collaboration to quantify the barrier effect in a highly fragmented landscape and (subsequently) the success of mitigation. The aims of the project are to use genetic techniques and empirical o...
