| 摘要： | This research evaluated Utah's wildlife crossing structures to help UDOT and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources assess crossing efficacy. In this study, remote motion-sensed cameras were used at 14 designated wildlife crossing culverts and bridges, and 21 existing culverts and bridges built for other purposes. Over three years (2008-2011), through June 2011, the 35 cameras recorded 23,957 mule deer passages through designated wildlife crossings, and 1,093 passages under existing culverts and bridges. The results support the statements: (1) mule deer will use bridges to pass under Utah highways, and the bridged overpass to pass over Interstate 15; (2) mule deer prefer shorter culverts, mule deer rates of repellency increased with culvert length, wildlife crossing culverts should be less than 120 feet (36.5 m) long ; (3) culvert width, as animals pass under the road, is more important to mule deer than culvert height, they prefer wider spaces; (4) mule deer, elk, and moose will rarely to never use existing concrete box culverts under interstates unless wildlife fencing (8 feet, 2.4 m high) is present, but once wildlife fencing is present, will only use these structures in limited numbers; (5) all US 6 and Interstate-70 wildlife crossing bridges, culverts, and arch bridges passed mule deer; (6) elk rarely used culverts and bridge structures, it is extremely difficult to build wildlife crossing structures for elk passage; and (7) overall wildlife crossings are working for mule deer. Future crossings that are predicted to work best should be short in length, and wide in span. |
