Restoring ponds for amphibians: a success story (2009, background): “Thus, elucidating the factors critical for restoring or maintaining quality habitats (Semlitsch, 2002; Rannap et al., 2009) and, by necessity, large-scale restoration of both aquatic and terrestrial habitats (Fog, 1997; Stumpel & van der Voet, 1998), are essential for amphibian recovery efforts.”
Conservation Planning for Amphibian Species with Complex Habitat Requirements: A Case Study Using Movements and Habitat Selection of the Wood Frog Rana Sylvatica (2006, background): “For example, recent studies have recommended protection of core areas of specific radial distances for pool-breeding amphibians generally (164 m; Semlitsch, 2002) and for wetland- breeding anurans specifically (368 m; Semlitsch and Bodie, 2003).”
Within-pond parameters affecting oviposition by wood frogs and spotted salamanders (2004, background): “In addition, creating seasonal ponds, in landscapes with suitable terrestrial habitat that are otherwise lacking breeding habitat, increases the quantity of potential breeding sites within a region (Semlitsch 2002).”
Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on amphibians: A review and prospectus (2006, methodology): “Both spotted salamanders and wood frogs avoid crossing fields, pastures, clearcuts, lawns, and roads (Windmiller, 1996; Gibbs, 1998; deMaynadier and Hunter, 1999; Rothermel and Semlitsch, 2002; Regosin et al., 2003; Marsh et al., 2004).”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “J. Zool.84: 1604–1615 (2006) doi:10.1139/Z06-146 # 2006 NRC Canada development), local (i.e., foraging, migration, and overwintering), and landscape (i.e., dispersal) scales (Marsh and Trenham 2001; Semlitsch 2002; Porej et al. 2004).”
Alien predators and amphibian declines: review of two decades of science and the transition to conservation (2003, background): “Recommendations for amphibian recovery plans often call for restoring habitats to predisturbed conditions (Semlitsch, 2002); however, as has already been discussed, this might be virtually impossible in the case of some alien predators, particularly those that prove difficult to remove.”
Fidelity and dispersal in the pond-breeding amphibian, Ambystoma opacum: Implications for spatio-temporal population dynamics and conservation (2007, background): “Addressing these types of questions is necessary to assess the applicability of the metapopulation paradigm and its conservation implications for pond-breeding amphibians (Semlitsch, 2002).”
Seasonal migration of Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) among complementary resources in a high mountain basin (2002, unknown): “Our study adds to a growing body of evidence that amphibian conservation requires the protection of groups of diverse water bodies and the upland or riparian habitats that connect them (Semlitsch 2002).”
Grasslands as movement barriers for a forest-associated salamander: Migration behavior of adult and juvenile salamanders at a distinct habitat edge (2006, background): “However, the long-term persistence of regional amphibian populations requires successful recolonization via dispersal ( Semlitsch, 2000, 2002, 2003 ).”
Assessing threats to pool-breeding amphibian habitat in an urbanizing landscape (2009, methodology): “We created the index using literature on amphibian landscape permeability (e.g., Gibbs, 1998; Rothermel and Semlitsch, 2002), amphibian–habitat relationships (e.g., Faccio, 2003; Regosin et al., 2003), and personal observations obtained during field research on these species (Table 1).”
Impacts of habitat loss and restoration on amphibian populations (2009, background): “That knowledge is also essential for informing conservation managers as to how to renew the ecological integrity of degraded habitat matrices and create self-sustaining systems for long-term persistence of resident populations (Petranka and Holbrook 2006), including their metapopulation structure (S”
Trade-off between larval development rate and Post-metamorphic Traits in the Frog Rana latastei (2006, background): “For many organisms, including amphibians and insects, development and growth rate are traits believed to have a strong, positive association with fitness (see Scriber and Slansky, 1981; Semlitsch, 2002 for references).”
Landscape genetics of the Alpine newt (Mesotriton alpestris) inferred from a strip-based approach (2011, background): “alpestris genetic structure could be of general interest for other amphibian species, and for the development of conservation and management plans (Semlitsch 2002).”
REGIONAL DYNAMICS OF WETLAND‐BREEDING FROGS AND TOADS: TURNOVER AND SYNCHRONY (2003, background): “Because local extinctions appear to occur frequently, maintaining sufficient densities of wetland habitats in the landscape to allow for recolonization should be a primary goal for managers (Semlitsch 2002).”
Engineering a future for amphibians under climate change (2011, background): “Heterogeneous aquatic breeding sites that vary in size and depth can buffer amphibian populations from environmental stressors and enhance population persistence (Denton et al. 1997; Semlitsch 2002; Rannap, Lõhmus & Briggs 2009).”
Effects of structural complexity enhancement on eastern red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) populations in northern hardwood forests (2006, background): “For instance, there are fundamental differences in the post-harvest spatial heterogeneity and degree of canopy closure associated with single-tree selection versus group-selection methods (Nyland, 1998; Seymour et al., 2002).”
AMPHIBIAN UPLAND HABITAT USE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR POPULATION VIABILITY (2005, background): “Studies of a wide variety of amphibian species suggest that interpond distances of less than one kilometer should be maintained to avoid isolating breeding ponds (Marsh and Trenham 2001, Semlitsch 2002; but see also Smith and Green 2005).”
Amphibian Declines in Brazil: An Overview 1 (2005, background): “Indeed, for amphibians, local population dynamics and metapopulation connectivity are essential components of effective conservation plans (Semlitsch 2002).”
