Differential responses of amphibians and reptiles in riparian and stream habitats to land use disturbances in western Georgia, USA (2008, background): “The open nature of urban riparian habitat may increase desiccation rates, and concomitantly decrease survivorship, in some amphibian species (Rothermel and Semlitsch, 2002; Rothermel and Luhring, 2005).”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “…from specific investigations of amphibian landscape permeability (deMaynadier and Hunter 1998; Gibbs 1998; deMaynadier and Hunter 1999, 2000; Rothermel and Semlitsch 2002), as well as more general studies of amphibian habitat relationships (Shoop 1965; Means et al. 1996; Windmiller 1996;…”
VARIATION IN TERRESTRIAL HABITAT USE BY FOUR POOL-BREEDING AMPHIBIAN SPECIES (2005, background): “…the evidence that many pool-breeding amphibians avoid open areas and forest edges, maintaining connectivity between ponds and blocks of intact terrestrial forest habitat also should be considered a high priority (Windmiller 1996; deMaynadier and Hunter 1998, 1999; Rothermel and Semlitsch 2002).”
The effects of urbanization on North American amphibian species: Identifying new directions for urban conservation (2012, background): “Several recent non-urban studies investigated the relationship between landscape structure and amphibian dispersal and found that forest-dependent amphibians avoid crossing open fields, pastures, clearcuts and roads, and in turn orient towards forests and away from open fields (Marsh et al. 2004; Ro”
SEXUAL DIFFERENCES IN THE POST-BREEDING MOVEMENTS AND HABITATS SELECTED BY WESTERN TOADS (BUFO BOREAS) IN SOUTHEASTERN IDAHO (2004, background): “These changes may reduce the ability of amphibians to disperse across the landscape (Rothermel and Semlitsch, 2002), leading to a reduction of their abundance and diversity (Bennett et al., 1980; Corn and Bury, 1989; deMaynadier and Hunter, 1995; Pough et al., 1987).”
Interpatch movement and edge effects: the role of behavioral responses to the landscape matrix (2006, background): “Another potentially important factor is the risk of being eaten by predators while moving through the matrix (Aars et al. 1999, Rothermel and Semlitsch 2002).”
AMPHIBIAN UPLAND HABITAT USE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR POPULATION VIABILITY (2005, background): “Although the study of amphibians in the uplands remains challenging, new approaches are emerging that promise to yield further basic insights and data essential for improved conservation planning and management (Regosin et al. 2003, Rothermel and Semlitsch 2002).”
LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE POND OCCUPANCY BY FROGS AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR DETECTABILITY (2005, background): “Similar movement patterns have also been observed in amphibians in logged forests and old fields (Johnston and Frid 2002, Rothermel and Semlitsch 2002, Chan-McLeod 2003).”
Differentiating Migration and Dispersal Processes for Pond-Breeding Amphibians (2008, positive): “Also, metamorphosing amphibians have been found to incur high mortality as they leave the pond, primarily due to desiccation in summer and from predation near ponds (Jameson 1956, Shoop 1974, Wassersug and Sperry 1977, Semlitsch 1981, Rothermel and Semlitsch 2002).”
MIGRATORY SUCCESS OF JUVENILES: A POTENTIAL CONSTRAINT ON CONNECTIVITY FOR POND‐BREEDING AMPHIBIANS (2004, background): “For example, juvenile spotted salamanders and American toads (Bufo americanus) emigrating from artificial pools on forest edges oriented nonrandomly, avoiding old fields and emigrating toward forest (Rothermel and Semlitsch 2002).”
Effects of experimental forestry treatments on a Maine amphibian community (2006, background): “Much of the research on terrestrial habitat use of amphibians to date has focused on adults (although see deMaynadier and Hunter, 1999; Rothermel and Semiltsch, 2002; Vasconcelos and Calhoun, 2004), with the ranid species in our study (except wood frogs) typically being described as generalists…”
Fidelity and dispersal in the pond-breeding amphibian, Ambystoma opacum: Implications for spatio-temporal population dynamics and conservation (2007, background): “Displacement studies (Gill, 1979; Marsh et al., 2005) and runway experiments (Rosenberg et al., 1998; Rothermel and Semlitsch, 2002) have proven to be useful approaches to address elements of movement behavior; however, landscape-level investigations are also essential to offer baseline information…”
Effects of Agricultural Cultivation on Demographics of Southern High Plains Amphibians (2004, background): “Estimates of land-use type and boundary permeability to amphibian movement are needed as well (e.g., Rothermel & Semlitsch 2002).”
Individual dispersal, landscape connectivity and ecological networks (2013, methodology): “…been estimated from expert advice (e.g. Verbeylen et al., 2003), modeled from presence/absence data, from density data (e.g. Coulon et al., 2004), from gene flow among local populations (e.g. Cushman et al., 2006) or experimentally assessed (e.g. Rothermel & Semlitsch, 2002; Stevens et al., 2006).”
Movement Patterns of Adult and Juvenile Rana sylvatica (LeConte) and Ambystoma maculatum (Shaw) in Three Restored Seasonal Pools in Maine (2004, positive): “Juvenile A. maculatum followed the same pattern, with directed movement toward the forest, in agreement with the findings of Rothermel and Semlitsch (2002).”
The Role of Microhabitats in the Desiccation and Survival of Anurans in Recently Harvested Oak–Hickory Forest (2008, methodology): “Enclosures of similar size were previously used by Rothermel and Semlitsch (2002) and Rothermel and Luhring (2005).”
Grasslands as movement barriers for a forest-associated salamander: Migration behavior of adult and juvenile salamanders at a distinct habitat edge (2006, background): “In a study that controlled for slope by placing artificial ponds on habitat edges, emigration of spotted salamander metamorphs was towards forested habitat ( Rothermel and Semlitsch, 2002 ).”
