Heterogeneous wetland complexes, buffer zones, and travel corridors: Landscape management for freshwater reptiles (2007, background): “These are fundamental concepts in landscape and wildlife ecology (Dunning et al., 1992; Taylor et al., 1993) that have not been sufficiently conveyed across disciplines (e.g., to wetlands scientists and policy makers; Cushman, 2006).”
Knowing the past to predict the future: land‐use change and the distribution of invasive bullfrogs (2010, background): “Amphibians are particularly susceptible to fragmentation and to the presence of barriers (Cushman, 2006): the study area is strongly modified by humans, and elements such as roads and urbanization may have precluded colonization (Ficetola et al.”
Biodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians (2007, background): “Understanding these altered life history or behavioral attributes may affect population structure and dynamics, and be important to consider for the long-term persistence of animals across managed landscapes.”
The genetic effects of roads: A review of empirical evidence (2010, background): “, Cushman, S. A., & Storfer, A. (2008). Representing genetic variation as continuous surfaces:”
Conservation of newt guilds in an agricultural landscape of Belgium: the importance of aquatic and terrestrial habitats (2008, background): “Two recent reviews found that only a small number of studies on amphibians are performed at landscape level: most of the studies are patch-based, sometimes with little replication (McGarigal and Cushman, 2002; Cushman, 2006).”
Linking bird, carabid beetle and butterfly life-history traits to habitat fragmentation in mosaic landscapes (2009, neutral): “for amphibians (Cushman 2006).”
Amphibians over the edge: silent extinction risk of Data Deficient species (2014, background): “In addition, threats from habitat loss (Stuart et al., 2004; Cushman, 2006; Becker et al., 2007), wild harvesting for food (Warkentin et al., 2009) and trade (Stuart et al., 2006), and increases in ultraviolet radiation (Kiesecker et al., 2001) are linked to population declines (Beebee & Griffiths,…”
Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, background): “, 2004; Parmesan, 2006) or habitat loss and fragmentation on biodiversity (e.g. Brooks et al., 2002; Fahrig, 2003; Cushman, 2006) have examined each in isolation.”
A documented amphibian decline over 40 years: Possible causes and implications for species recovery (2007, background): “This is crucial if such populations are to avoid extinction in the near future because connectivity and dispersal of juveniles contributes more to regional persistence than adult dispersal in amphibians (summarized in Cushman, 2006).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Quantifying the Road-Effect Zone: Threshold Effects of a Motorway on Anuran Populations in Ontario, Canada (2009, positive): “Although species as diverse as ground beetles (Keller and Largiader 2003) and grizzly bears (Mace et al. 1996) are known to be negatively affected by roads, amphibians (reviewed in Cushman 2006) are among the most vulnerable groups overall.”
Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, background): “…for amphibians and reptiles have largely been limited to studies on temperate amphibians, especially in North America (Demaynadier and Hunter, 1995; Cushman, 2006; but see Gibbons et al., 2000 for an account of reptiles) and the Australian sub-tropics (Hazell, 2003), or have been limited to the…”
Variable response of anuran calling activity to daily precipitation and temperature: implications for climate change (2013, background): “Additionally, habitat loss is a major driver of population declines (Beebee and Griffiths 2005, Cushman 2006, Halliday 2008, Hillers et al. 2008, Angelone and Holderegger 2009), and the fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, has been identified as cause of population declines and extinctions of…”
Beyond occurrence: Body condition and stress hormone as integrative indicators of habitat availability and fragmentation in the common toad (2011, background): “The choice of this focal species is appropriate given the high sensitivity of amphibians to habitat loss and fragmentation (Cushman, 2006).”
The pond network: can structural connectivity reflect on (amphibian) biodiversity patterns? (2011, background): “Thus, landscape connectivity and, specifically, pond connectivity is of extreme importance for the long term persistence of these populations, since it may buffer the stochastic events to which ponds (particularly Mediterranean ponds) are extremely prone (Cushman 2006; Compton et al. 2007).”
Evaluating population connectivity for species of conservation concern in the American Great Plains (2013, neutral): “Much of this difficulty is due to uncertainty about species distributions, how different landscape features affect movement, and limited understanding of species dispersal abilities (e.g. Cushman 2006).”
