Amphibian Breeding Distribution in an Urbanized Landscape (2005, background): “Hydroperiod is commonly believed to be a primary driver of the larval amphibian community composition in rural or undisturbed wetlands (Wellborn et al. 1996; Semlitsch 2000).”
MIGRATORY SUCCESS OF JUVENILES: A POTENTIAL CONSTRAINT ON CONNECTIVITY FOR POND‐BREEDING AMPHIBIANS (2004, background): “E-mail: rothermel@srel.edu Their persistence at a landscape level, therefore, may depend on maintaining dispersal rates to allow for recolonization, as occurs in metapopulations (Semlitsch 2000, Marsh and Trenham 2001).”
Review: Toward management of urban ponds for freshwater biodiversity (2019, background): “Hydroperiod is particularly important for amphibians (Semlitsch 2000, Snodgrass et al. 2000), as a factor per se, but also to limit predator presence (e.g., fish; Chester and Robson 2013, Hamer and Parris 2013).”
Wetland Restoration for Amphibians: Should Local Sites Be Designed to Support Metapopulations or Patchy Populations? (2006, background): “Ecologists have improved the design of wetlands for amphibians by incorporating information on natural history, community interactions, landscape ecology, and population dynamics (Richter 1997; Semlitsch 2000, 2002).”
Fire and amphibians in North America (2003, background): “…can result in increased concentrations of nutrients such as soluble reactive phosphorus, ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite in streams (Tiedemann et al., 1978; Schlindler et al., 1980; Neary and Currier, 1982; Knoepp and Swank, 1993; Minshall et al., 2001a) and ponds (Dodd, 1997; Semlitsch, 2000).”
The relative importance of wetland size and hydroperiod for amphibians in southern New Hampshire, USA (2005, background): “The important influence that wetland hydroperiod has on habitat suitability for amphibians is widely recognized (Wellborn et al. 1996; Semlitsch 2000).”
Spring migration distances of some Central European amphibian species (2009, background): “They have generally low tolerance to habitat degradation and are very sensitive to edge effects (Semlitsch, 2000; Houlahan and Findlay, 2003).”
Amphibian declines: future directions (2003, background): “At a minimum, buffer zones are needed around amphibian breeding ponds, because individuals frequently travel at least hundreds of metres from a breeding pond (Semlitsch & Bodie, 1998, Semlitsch, 2000).”
Effects of Prescribed Burning on Amphibian Diversity in a Southeastern U.S. National Forest (2003, background): “Amphibian species richness decreased significantly when ponds had ditches nearby, which provide routes by which predatory fish can colonize ephemeral ponds (Snodgrass et al. 1996; Semlitsch 2000; Eason & Fauth 2001).”
Impacts of cattle on amphibian larvae and the aquatic environment (2008, background): “Amphibians may be particularly sensitive to agricultural land use, because many species depend on aquatic and terrestrial environments to complete their biphasic life cycle (Semlitsch, 2000).”
AGRICULTURAL PONDS SUPPORT AMPHIBIAN POPULATIONS (2004, background): “4 E-mail: Melinda Knutson@usgs.gov Effective management of amphibian populations in predominantly agricultural landscapes requires an understanding of what factors influence amphibian populations (Knutson et al. 1999, Semlitsch 2000).”
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): “…movements are the first to be reported using replicated, radio-telemetry observations and contribute to the growing consensus that a landscape approach connecting seasonally discrete habitats is likely warranted for the conservation of many pool-breeding amphibians (Gibbs, 1993; Semlitsch, 2000).”
The ecology of extinction: population fluctuation and decline in amphibians (2003, background): “Pondbreeding anurans of all sorts disperse widely as juveniles (Marsh and Trenham, 2001), which has been demonstrated to be important in maintaining populations (Sinsch, 1997; Seburn et al., 1997; Pope et al., 2000; Semlitsch, 2000).”
Biodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians (2007, background): “…to two of the ‘‘critical elements of effective and biologically based management plans for amphibians that consider both population and landscape processes,’’ namely protection of terrestrial buffers around wetlands and protection of the integrity of ecological connectivity (Semlitsch, 2000).”
