• The pond network: can structural connectivity reflect on (amphibian) biodiversity patterns? (2011, background): “Pond creation/alteration for water supply of cattle, a traditional management activity in Mediterranean landscapes, provides new/better breeding sites for amphibians benefiting their populations and increasing local biodiversity (e.g. Knutson et al. 2004; Miracle et al. 2010).”
• Effects of environmental change on helminth infections in amphibians: exploring the emergence of Ribeiroia and Echinostoma infections in North America. (2009, background): “As natural wetlands continue to be destroyed and altered, amphibians rely increasingly on artificial or highly modified wetlands to complete their breeding cycles, including farm ponds, stock ponds, retention systems, and other impoundments (Knutson et al. 2004) .”
• Impacts of cattle on amphibian larvae and the aquatic environment (2008, background): “Previous studies have reported possible negative effects of cattle on reproductive success and post-metamorphic abundance of amphibians (Healey, Thompson & Robertson, 1997; Jansen & Healey, 2003; Murphy, Simandle & Becker, 2003; Knutson et al., 2004; Burton et al., 2008).”
• 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”
• Mediterranean temporary ponds as amphibian breeding habitats: the importance of preserving pond networks (2009, background): “…studies (Burne and Griffin 2005; Sztatecsny et al. 2004); (4) water-chemistry characteristics relevant for amphibians (Hecnar and M’Closkey 1996; Knutson et al. 2004) and related to salinity, ionic composition, nutrient concentrations, and primary production; and (5) the distribution pattern…”
• Influences of Design and Landscape Placement Parameters on Amphibian Abundance in Constructed Wetlands (2010, background): “Nonetheless we chose to only include cropland as the predictor because other regional amphibian studies had examined influences of forest but excluded croplands (Knutson et al. 2004; Porej et al. 2004) or combined row crop and pasture land covers (Knutson et al.”
