Assessing threats to pool-breeding amphibian habitat in an urbanizing landscape (2009, background): “; Colburn, 2004; Semlitsch and Skelly, 2008) and are under threat from expanding exurban development (Homan et al., 2004; Skidds et al., 2007).”
Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on amphibians: A review and prospectus (2006, background): “The apparent vulnerability of amphibians (Pechmann et al., 1991; Houlahan et al., 2000; Kiesecker et al., 2001; Baillie et al., 2004) may be due to a complex of factors, including: (1) relatively low vagilities, which amplifies the effects of habitat fragmentation (Sinsch, 1990; Gibbs, 1998;…”

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, unknown): “The amount of forest in the landscape is known to be the best single predictor of both spring peeper and wood frog abundance (e.g., Homan et al. 2004, Porej et al. 2004, Gagné and Fahrig 2007), with both species dependent on forests for foraging and breeding habitat.”
Impacts of habitat loss and restoration on amphibian populations (2009, methodology): “…on amphibians have explored the threshold effects in relation to the watershed disturbance (Willson and Dorcas 2003) or forest cover (Gibbs 1998, Homan et al. 2004, Denoël and Ficetola 2007), demonstrating that the critical thresholds vary by spatial scale and species, and are also sensitive to…”
Density Dependence in the Terrestrial Stage of Wood Frogs: Evidence from a 21-Year Population Study (2009, background): “Indeed, Wood Frog occurrence near suitable ponds has been shown to be particularly sensitive to forest cover within 30 m of the pond’s edge (Homan et al., 2004).”
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): “Wood Frog populations may be adversely affected in landscapes where forest cover has been reduced by 50% or more (Kolozsvary and Swihart, 1999; Homan et al., 2004; Porej et al., 2004) and are reportedly declining in urbanizing areas (Klemens, 1993).”
Amphibian production in forested landscapes in relation to wetland hydroperiod: A case study of vernal pools and beaver ponds (2009, background): “As critical as the wetlands themselves is the protection of intervening terrestrial habitats with an understanding of critical habitat thresholds for individual species (e.g. Gibbs, 1998; Homan et al., 2004 ).”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “1999; Guerry and Hunter 2002), with specific impacts observed in both wood frogs and spotted salamanders (Homan et al. 2004; Porej et al. 2004; Herrmann et al. 2005; Rubbo and Kiesecker 2005).”
A checklist for ecological management of landscapes for conservation. (2007, background): “Such thresholds are process-related, compared with the pattern-related thresholds in landscape structure discussed earlier ( Homan et al. 2004 ).”
Effects of urbanization on butterfly species richness, guild structure, and rarity (2007, background): “Studies of the effects of urbanization on biodiversity have focused primarily on vertebrates, including reptiles (Germaine and Wakeling 2001), amphibians (Gibbs 1998; Homan et al. 2004; Clark et al. 2007), mammals (Riley et al. 2003; Jedrzejewski et al. 2004), and birds (Green and Baker 2003 ;M el”
