Road verges are corridors and roads barriers for the movement of flower‐visiting insects

Juliana Dániel‐Ferreira, Åsa Berggren, Jörgen Wissman, Erik Öckinger

Ecography > 2022 > 2 > n/a - n/a

Roads and road verges can potentially have opposite impacts on organisms that move through the landscape. While road verges can be habitat for a large number of species, and have been proposed to act as dispersal corridors, roads can act as barriers to movement. This duality of roads and road verges has however rarely been assessed simultaneously, and it is unknown to what degree it depends on the...
