Reduced predation on roadside nests can compensate for road mortality in road‐adjacent turtle populations
Abstract Turtles are killed on roads, yet there is little evidence of negative road effects on their abundances. We hypothesized that this could be due to reduced predation of turtle nests laid along roadsides, which could compensate for the effects of higher adult mortality on turtle populations ne...
