Gracias de antemano por su ayuda.

Recommendation: Conduct baseline inventories in the field using best practices for the various taxonomic groups [e.g., visual and auditory encounter surveys, trapping (including camera traps), cover board placement, pitfall/funnel traps, road cruising of bisecting/perimeter roads, dipnet sampling/electroshocking; see also Carver et al. 2010]. This sampling should be conducted as soon as logistically feasible after an area has been designated for clearing in order maximize the opportunities for site- and species-specific rescue and relocation planning. If time permits, the inventories should be conducted in multiple seasons since some species are more readily detectable at certain times of the year. Indicate who will conduct the baseline inventories and what data should be collected/assessed (e.g., presence, gender, age, reproductive status, population density).

carreteras que atraviesan la zona
Explanation:
La traducción literal sería "carreteras bisecantes" o "carreteras que bisecan la zona", pero en mi opinión el término "bisecar" debería limitarse a textos de geometría y similares.

agree  Salloz: Cierto. De paso, la pregunta está mal clasificada; aunque el texto que se traduce sea de biología, la pregunta específica cae más bien en el campo de las comunicaciones o la logística. ;)

neutral  Alistair Ian Spearing Ortiz: Atención, el significado de "bisect" no es "entrecruzarse". Eso sería "intersect". http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/bisect?q=bi...
