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).”
Assessing quality of clearcut habitats for amphibians: Effects on abundances versus vital rates in the southern toad (Bufo terrestris) (2006, background): “Indeed, several studies have suggested that forest cover is a critical factor that determines the distribution and density of many species (Porej et al., 2004; Herrmann et al., 2005).”
Grasslands as movement barriers for a forest-associated salamander: Migration behavior of adult and juvenile salamanders at a distinct habitat edge (2006, background): “For example, red spotted newts (Notophthalmus v. viridescens), a species with an eft stage devoted to dispersal, ceased to exist in landscapes with less than 50% forest cover; whereas, spotted salamanders persisted in landscapes until forest cover dropped below 30% (Gibbs, 1998b; Porej et al., 2004;”
Effects of forest removal on amphibian migrations: implications for habitat and landscape connectivity (2009, background): “MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS Previous studies have shown that biphasic amphibians suffer declines in abundance and richness when upland forests are cleared (Gibbs 1998; Herrmann et al. 2005; Becker et al. 2007).”
Spring migration distances of some Central European amphibian species (2009, background): “The prevailing opinion is that after the end of reproduction most amphibian species, particularly the caudate ones, head to habitats with three or shrub shadows (e.g. Wilbur, 1980; deMaynadier and Hunter, 1999; Guerry and Hunter, 2002; Houlahan and Findlay, 2003; Knutson et al., 2004; Herrmann et al”
