Effect of landscape context on anuran communities in breeding ponds in the National Capital Region, Canada (2007, background): “5 km (Carr and Fahrig 2001) and 3 km (Houlahan and Findlay 2003), respectively.”
Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on amphibians: A review and prospectus (2006, background): “These generalizations include that the effects of adjacent land use on amphibians can extend over large distances ( Houlahan and Findlay, 2003 ), and that the proximity and area of uplandhreeding habitat play a key role in determining occupancy (Laan and Verboom, 1990; Pope et al., 2000).”
LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE POND OCCUPANCY BY FROGS AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR DETECTABILITY (2005, background): “However, the sole protection of ponds is insufficient for amphibian conservation and additional landscape components such as terrestrial habitat must be included (e.g., Pope et al. 2000, Guerry and Hunter 2002, Gibbons 2003, Houlahan and Findlay 2003, Johnson and Semlitsch 2003).”
Amphibian species richness across environmental gradients (2007, background): “Reports in the literature generally indicate little evidence of a relation between amphibian species richness and pond area (Hecnar and M’Closkey 1996, Snodgrass et al. 2000b, but see Houlahan and Findlay 2003), but the smallest ponds in most of these studies are considerably larger than ours.”
Effects of Roads on Animal Abundance: an Empirical Review and Synthesis (2009, background): “…triseriata) neutral Trenham et al. (2003) moor frog (Rana arvalis) negative Vos and Chardon (1998) green frog (Rana clamitans) negative neutral Houlahan and Findlay (2003) Eigenbrod et al. (2008a) Trenham et al. (2003) Carr and Fahrig (2001) leopard frog (Rana pipiens)…”
Influences of Design and Landscape Placement Parameters on Amphibian Abundance in Constructed Wetlands (2010, background): “Both forms of disturbance expose amphibians to elevated levels of pesticides, heavy metals, fertilizers, mechanical disturbance, and increased mortality due to desiccation and vehicular travel (Fahrig et al. 1995; Jorgensen 1997; Findlay and Bourdages 2000; Houlahan and Findlay 2003).”
Multi-scale effect of landscape processes and habitat quality on newt abundance: Implications for conservation (2006, background): “In this situation, abundance becomes a better tool than occurrence (Houlahan and Findlay, 2003).”
Amphibian distribution in a traditionally managed rural landscape of Eastern Europe: Probing the effect of landscape composition (2010, background): “Pond breeding amphibians from temperate areas are a suitable group for landscape-scale analysis (Hecnar and M’Closkey, 1998; Houlahan and Findlay, 2003; Pellet et al., 2004; Van Buskirk, 2005; Hartel et al., 2009; Zanini et al., 2009) because: (i) they require different habitats for breeding,…”
The effects of urbanization on North American amphibian species: Identifying new directions for urban conservation (2012, background): “Studies that sampled amphibians in urban wetland sites conducted breeding call surveys (Gagné and Fahrig 2007), larval sampling (Rubbo and Kiesecker 2005), visual and auditory surveys (Houlahan and Findlay 2003), and egg mass surveys (Skidds et al.”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “Similarly, amphibian species richness in Ontario (Canada) ponds was heavily influenced by forest cover and road density, the effects of which were felt up to thousands of metres from the ponds (Houlahan and Findlay, 2003).”
Conservation of newt guilds in an agricultural landscape of Belgium: the importance of aquatic and terrestrial habitats (2008, result): “…results from the present study corroborate the importance of forest in the core zone around breeding ponds of amphibians (Hecnar and M’Closkey, 1998; Houlahan and Findlay, 2003; Porej et al. , 2004; Marty et al. , 2005) and confirm that buffer zones of at least 150–300 m around the wetlands are…”
Plasticity in the vocalizations of anurans in response to traffic noise (2010, background): “, 1995; Carr and Fahrig, 2001), and amphibian species richness is negatively correlated with the density of paved roads (Findlay and Houlahan, 1997; Houlahan and Findlay, 2003).”
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”
