Wetland Restoration for Amphibians: Should Local Sites Be Designed to Support Metapopulations or Patchy Populations? (2006, background): “These characteristics, when coupled with life history constraints, prevent most species from occupying the entire hydrologic gradient from highly seasonal to permanent ponds (Wellborn et al. 1996; Paton & Crouch 2002; Babbitt et al. 2003).”
LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE POND OCCUPANCY BY FROGS AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR DETECTABILITY (2005, background): “…Bridges and Sem- June 2005 825FROG POND OCCUPANCY AND THE LANDSCAPE litsch 2000), hydroperiod (e.g., Rowe and Dunson 1995, Snodgrass et al. 2000, Babbitt et al. 2003), canopy cover (Skelly et al. 2002, Halverson et al. 2003), as well as competitive and predator–prey interactions between…”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “…— was defined as 16 weeks, corresponding to low spotted salamander and high wood frog developmental period estimates (Petranka 1998; Hunter et al. 1999; see also Paton and Crouch 2002) and similar to an ‘‘intermediate’’ period used in related studies (Babbitt et al. 2003; Babbitt 2004).”
Macroinvertebrate community structure across a wetland hydroperiod gradient in southern New Hampshire, USA (2005, background): “Several researchers have recently pointed out the limited practical use of using wetland size as a basis for wetland protection (Semlitsch and Bodie 1998; Snodgrass et al. 2000a, b; Paton and Crouch, 2002; Babbitt et al. 2003 ).”
The relative importance of wetland size and hydroperiod for amphibians in southern New Hampshire, USA (2005, background): “Several researchers have recently called into question the suitability of using wetland size as a criterion for assessing wetland function (Semlitsch and Bodie 1998; Snodgrass et al. 2000; Paton and Crouch 2002; Babbitt et al. 2003).”
A comparative analysis of the adaptive developmental plasticity hypothesis in six Mediterranean anuran species along a pond permanency gradient (2006, background): “Species do not show a random distribution and predictable assemblages are usually found along this gradient (Jeffries 1994; Skelly 1996; Babbitt et al. 2003).”
Amphibian Contributions to Ecosystem Services (2014, background): “Given the tremendous annual variability in reproductive effort and larval survival to metamorphosis (Pechmann et al. 1989; Semlitsch et al. 1996; Babbitt et al. 2003), it is unlikely that the net output found by Seale (1980) is a general result.”
Effects of landscape characteristics on amphibian distribution in a forest-dominated landscape (2005, background): “This highlights the importance of factoring in amphibian compositional differences between temporary and permanent wetlands in wetland protection conservation initiatives (Babbitt et al., 2003).”
