Hybridization between a rare, native tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) and its introduced congener (2003, background): “For the California tiger salamander, which has declined over the vast majority of its range and is impacted by other threats such as past and continuing habitat loss and predation from other exotic species (Fisher and Shaffer 1996, Davidson et al. 2002), this genetic mixing is a serious threat.”
Concordant molecular and phenotypic data delineate new taxonomy and conservation priorities for the endangered mountain yellow‐legged frog (2007, neutral): “and air pollution ( Davidson, Shaffer & Jennings, 2002; Davidson, 2004).”
DECLINING DOWNWIND: AMPHIBIAN POPULATION DECLINES IN CALIFORNIA AND HISTORICAL PESTICIDE USE (2004, methodology): “Fourth, other factors such as introduced predators (e.g., Fisher and Shaffer 1996, Lawler et al. 1999, Knapp and Matthews 2000) and habitat destruction (Davidson et al. 2001, 2002) have certainly contributed to declines, making it difficult to disentangle the role of pesticides.”
The amphibian microbiome: natural range of variation, pathogenic dysbiosis, and role in conservation (2017, background): “…are currently experiencing severe population declines and extinctions attributable to habitat alteration, climate change, invasive species, chemical contaminants, and especially infectious diseases (Davidson et al. 2002; McMenamin et al. 2008; Blaustein et al. 2011; Whitfield et al. 2016).”
AMPHIBIAN UPLAND HABITAT USE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR POPULATION VIABILITY (2005, background): “Currently, the best available evi- dence suggests that this pond-breeding species has declined primarily due to the conversion of its aquatic and upland habitats to intensive land uses (Fisher and Shaffer 1996, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2000, Davidson et al. 2002).”
COMPETITION AND PREDATION MEDIATE THE INDIRECT EFFECTS OF AN INSECTICIDE ON SOUTHERN LEOPARD FROGS (2004, background): “…timely given the current concerns about worldwide amphibian declines (Houlahan et al. 2000) and given that one of the proposed reasons for the decline is environmental contamination by anthropogenic chemicals such as pesticides (Relyea and Mills 2001, Sparling et al. 2001, Davidson et al. 2002).”
Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (2007, background): “Other predictions for declines like increased ultraviolet light or climate change did not explain the observed patterns of declines, although habitat destruction did to some extent for some species (Davidson et al. 2002).”
Climate change and amphibians (2005, background): “Davidson et al. (2001, 2002) examined the geographic patterns of the declines of several amphibian species in California, related to climate, UV–”
REGIONAL DYNAMICS OF WETLAND‐BREEDING FROGS AND TOADS: TURNOVER AND SYNCHRONY (2003, background): “Agriculture and roads are common upland habitat modifications that have been shown to adversely impact amphibian populations in other studies (Fahrig et al. 1995, Carr and Fahrig 2001, Findlay et al. 2001, Davidson et al. 2002, Guerry and Hunter 2002).”
PESTICIDES AND AMPHIBIANS: THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY CONTEXT (2005, background): “…(Harris et al. 1998, McConnell et al. 1998, LeNoir et al. 1999, Sparling et al. 2001) and amphibian declines are associated with upwind agriculture (Davidson et al. 2001, 2002), the role that pesticides may play in amphibian population declines will clearly be a complex mélange of direct and…”
Ranavirus Ecology and Evolution: From Epidemiology to Extinction (2015, background): “Aquatic systems can receive pesticides from direct application, terrestrial runoff, or windborne drift (Davidson et al. 2002 ).”
THE IMPACT OF INSECTICIDES AND HERBICIDES ON THE BIODIVERSITY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF AQUATIC COMMUNITIES (2006, background): “However, many ecosystems are far from pristine due to a variety of anthropogenic influences, including exposure to a plethora of pesticides (Harris et al. 1998, McConnell et al. 1998, LeNoir et al. 1999, Sparling et al. 2001, Davidson et al. 2002).”
Immune Suppression by Neonicotinoid Insecticides at the Root of Global Wildlife Declines (2013, background): “Davidson et al.32 reported in 2002 spatial patterns of decline for four California ranid frogs and matched the declines with the distribution of agricultural lands (also based on USGS land use maps and key predominant wind directions based on California Air Resources streamline wind maps).”
