Abundance, biomass production, nutrient content, and the possible role of terrestrial salamanders in Missouri Ozark forest ecosystems (2014, background): “Salamanders are abundant and comprise a large amount of biomass emerging from wetlands (Gibbons et al. 2006), in riparian habitat adjacent to headwater streams (Peterman et al. 2008), and in deciduous forests (Burton and Likens 1975b; Petranka and Murray 2001).”
Amphibian Contributions to Ecosystem Services (2014, background): “In some stream habitats, metamorphosed individuals remain in the stream and occur with high abundance and biomass (Peterman et al. 2008), further contributing to the standing stock of nutrients and providing additional phosphorus through waste excretion.”
The trophic role of a forest salamander: impacts on invertebrates, leaf litter retention, and the humification process (2014, background): “…salamanders, by virtue of their enormous numbers (2950 to 18,000/ ha [Burton and Likens 1975a, Welsh and Lind 1992, Petranka and Murray 2001, Peterman et al. 2008]), and highly efficient conversion of invertebrate to vertebrate biomass (Pough 1983), are ecologically dominant taxa in…”
Tracking animals in freshwater with electronic tags: past, present and future (2013, background): “Specific details in journal articles were often relegated to a few lines in the methods section, but the overall trend can be inferred from the steady increase in telemetry papers focused on habitat selection and movement patterns in smaller species and juvenile life stages of fish [63,64], and incr”
