The Publisher and Editor of Landscape and Urban Planning take their roles seriously in maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. One of the duties of authors concerns originality and plagiarism. Authors need to ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from ‘passing off’ another’s paper as the author’s own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable. For more information on Ethics in Publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication see http://www.elsevier.com/ethicalguidelines. Although citing the following paper, the introduction has been plagiarised by copying without quoting which constitutes unethical publishing behaviour: From roadkill to road ecology: A review of the ecological effects of roads Journal of Transport Geography, Volume 15, Issue 5, September 2007, Pages 396–406 Alisa W. Coffin http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2006.11.006 The authors apologise to the author and the communities of both journals and wish to make the following change to the introduction: For several decades, biologists have studied the influence of roads on wildlife as a barrier effect (Bhattacharya et al., 2003; Mech et al., 1988; Oxley et al., 1974) and as sources of disturbance (Bellis and Graves, 1971; Dodd et al., 2004; Rost and Bailey, 1979; Tigas et al., 2002), but primarily at local rather than at ecosystem scale. In recent years, landscape ecologists have studied the qualitative effect of roads on ecosystem fragmentation and interactions of road networks with landscapes with respect to sustaining ecological processes. This has resulted primarily from the development of the theory and technology associated with road ecology (Coffin, 2007). The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused to the authors of this article and readers of the journal.
