Stuck in a rut: Potential costs of sand roads to gopher tortoises Gopherus polyphemus

Roads affect wildlife significantly through direct mortality but also through behavioral change. We explored the effects of unsurfaced sand roads with a low traffic volume on the travelling behavior of gopher tortoises Gopherus polyphemus in scrub habitat in central Florida, as evidenced by the trac...
