Studies assessing the efficacy of wildlife crossing structures often lead to spurious results because of their failure to address masking effects of confounding variables. Confounding variables include variation in human activity, density of crossing structures along the highway corridor, and equality of species’ perceived access to each crossing structure. We investigated these issues for wide-ranging large carnivores and their prey species in Banff National Park, Alberta, using data obtained from systematic, year-round monitoring of 13 newly constructed crossing structures for wildlife (underpasses and overpasses) for 34 months post-construction.
