• Engineering a future for amphibians under climate change (2011, background): “Shelter microhabitats are known to influence body temperatures and govern dehydration rates in amphibians (Seebacher & Alford 2002).”
• Burrow Availability and Desiccation Risk of Mole Salamanders (Ambystoma talpoideum) in Harvested versus Unharvested Forest Stands (2005, background): “As demonstrated for other amphibians (e.g., Bufo marinus; Seebacher and Alford, 2002), the presence of suitable shelters greatly mitigated water loss.”
• The body temperature of active amphibians along a tropical elevation gradient: patterns of mean and variance and inference from environmental data (2013, result): “By extension, these findings support the use of casts (e.g. agar models and other) as a tool to obtain accurate estimates of BT (Navas & Araujo 2000; Seebach- er & Alford 2002).”
