• Edge effects and extinction proneness in a herpetofauna from Madagascar (2003, background): “This finding could help explain losses of amphibians from fragmented systems (Marsh and Pearman 1997; Vallan 2000) and may play a significant role in amphibian declines.”
• The effects of 20 years of highway presence on the genetic structure of Rana dalmatina populations (2006, background): “…individuals or on genetic diversity has been assessed in several studies (Baur & Baur, 1989; Fahrig et al., 1995; Vos & Chardon, 1998; Haxton, 2000; Vallan, 2000; Lesbarrères, Lodé & Merilä, 2004), the reduction in gene flow among populations resulting from such damage still needs to be…”
• Vast underestimation of Madagascar's biodiversity evidenced by an integrative amphibian inventory (2009, background): “A conservation strategy should consider protecting additional small rainforest fragments, because they can contain a relatively large proportion of amphibian species (53, 54).”
• Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on amphibians: A review and prospectus (2006, background): “First, one could conduct large-scale, correlative studies of distribution in relation to habitat composition and configuration at a range of scales (Hecnar and M’Closkey, 1996; Knutson et al., 1999; Kolozsvary and Swihart, 1999; Vallan, 2000; Guerry and Hunter, 2002; Weyrauch and Grubb, 2004).”
• Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, background): “…and reptiles supported the positive species–area relationship for both temperate (Findlay and Houlahan, 1997), and sub-tropical and tropical systems (Vallan, 2000; Alcala et al., 2004; Driscoll, 2004; Krishnamurthy, 2003; Pineda and Halffter, 2004), although few studies found an effect of…”
• Patterns of species change in anthropogenically disturbed forests of Madagascar (2010, background): “Species diversity of rainforest herpetofaunas generally responds negatively to fragmentation (decreasing diversity with decreasing fragment size; Ramanamanjato, 2000; Vallan, 2000), forming nested subsets in fragments.”
• Positive effects of forest fragmentation, independent of forest amount, on bat abundance in eastern Ontario, Canada (2011, background): “1999), small mammals (Nupp and Swihart 2000), and amphibians (Vallan 2000).”
