Modelling road mortality risks to persistence to a Western Toad ({\it Anaxyrus boreas}) population in British Columbia
Road mortality may be a significant factor in the global decline of amphibian populations, yet rigorous assessments of its effect on long-term population persistence are lacking. Here, we investigate population persistence through a field study and mathematical model of a western toad ({\textit{Anaxyrus Boreas}} {\RR(Baird and Girard, 1852)}) population within a highway corridor in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia. The analysis shows traffic levels strongly correlate with toad mort…
