Vägar är en onekligen central del i vårt globala samhälle. De betyder kontakt och förflyttning för oss, men för djuren är dem ofta hinder vilket kan leda till att habitat fragmenteras och att djur isoleras.

I värsta faHabitat fragmentation is a common problem in relation with road infrastructure which leads to mortality, isolation of animal populations, and has a negative effect on biodiversity. Animal crossings have been implemented in many countries and are a useful tool to mitigate these problems but they are expensive to build. This thesis explores the methodological approaches used to evaluate how wildlife
