Influence of Traffic Noise and Light on Wildlife Movement Near Highways

  • Principal Investigator Fraser Shilling, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
The research team will statistically model the effect of traffic noise and light from traffic on occurrence of mountain lions, mule deer, and Peninsular bighorn sheep and movements of GPS-collared individuals as they approach highways.

Modeling Traffic Noise and Light on Natural Landscapes at the State Scale

Research Product Type
Research Report
In this report, the authors developed California-wide models of traffic noise and light intrusion into areas adjacent to state highways to aid understanding of wildlife responses to noise and light, and to aid locating and designing crossings to maximize wildlife approach and use.
