Macroinvertebrate community structure across a wetland hydroperiod gradient in southern New Hampshire, USA (2005, background): “…oxygen concentrations, less algal-based food due to lower light levels, which may result in decreased zooplankton, and cooler water (Werner and Glennemeier 1999; Skelly et al. 2002), all of which may limit growth and prevent invertebrate development or emergence before drying events occur.”
Ponds and pools as model systems in conservation biology, ecology and evolutionary biology (2005, background): “Strong impact of local conditions has also been observed in other organism groups such as amphibians (e.g. Skelly, 1995; Skelly et al., 2002), and”
Comparative landscape dynamics of two anuran species: climate-driven interaction of local and regional processes (2009, background): “Periphyton production was nearly twofold higher in open-canopy compared to closed-canopy ponds, and laboratory experiments confirmed that resource levels were at least in part responsible for poorer performance in closed-canopy ponds (Skelly et al. 2002).”
Microgeographical variation in thermal preference by an amphibian (2004, background): “A recent body of work indicates that canopy-mediated shading also can significantly impact larval performance (Skelly et al. 2002; Halverson et al. 2003).”
Fire and amphibians in North America (2003, background): “In New England, spring peepers (Pseudacris crucifer) are usually absent from ponds where forest canopies have grown over the pond basin, but wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) persist at these sites (Skelly et al., 2002).”
Patterns of larval amphibian distribution along a wetland hydroperiod gradient (2003, background): “Wetlands completely enclosed by canopy may have lower dissolved oxygen concentrations, less algal food because of lower light levels, and cooler water, all of which may limit growth and prevent metamorphosis before drying events occur (Werner and Glennemeier 1999; Skelly et al. 2002).”
Estimating Decline and Distributional Change in Amphibians (2003, background): “As the ESGR undergoes forest succession, many species have disappeared from pond basins that have been enveloped by tree canopies ( Skelly et al. 1999; Werner & Glennemeier 1999; Skelly et al. 2002).”
Hatching plasticity in two temperate anurans: responses to a pathogen and predation cues (2006, background): “In addition, water temperatures have risen, increasing primary productivity (Skelly et al. 2002) and facilitating rapid growth of water mold (Gomez-Mestre et al.”
