摘要: Abstract We evaluated the behavioral responses of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to 4 colors wildlife warning reflectors (red, white, blue-green, and amber) that are purported reduce incidence deer–vehicle collisions. observed behaviors relative roads before after installation using a forward-looking infrared camera during 90 observation nights. concluded were ineffective in changing behavior such collisions might be prevented.
