Species and demographic responses to wildlife‐friendly fencing on ungulate crossing success and behavior

Averaged across species and demographics, a wildlife‐friendly fencing design increased the probability that ungulates successfully crossed a fence and reduced the time taken to cross, but had limited effects on species' crossing behaviour.
