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.”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “Remaining less understood are the effects of hydroperiod variability on amphibian populations within strictly seasonal portions of the inundation continuum (Pechmann et al. 1989; Rowe and Dunson 1995).”
The wetland continuum: A conceptual framework for interpreting biological studies (2004, background): “Spadefoot toad tadpoles are extremely vulnerable to predation and are dependent on wetlands with hydroperiods too short to support predatory populations (Pechmann et al. 1989).”
Effects of Agricultural Cultivation on Demographics of Southern High Plains Amphibians (2004, background): “The probability of breeding, larval survival, and juvenile recruitment also increases with rainfall because wetland hydroperiod is positively correlated with rainfall (Pechmann et al. 1989; Sinsch & Seidel 1995; Semlitsch et al. 1996).”
Human-mediated Escalation of a Formerly Eradicable Problem: The Invasion of Caribbean Frogs in the Hawaiian Islands (2002, unknown): “Fritts and Rodda 1998), an unsurprising result given the high numbers or standing biomass that many such populations may attain (Burton and Likens 1975a, b; Stewart and Pough 1983; Pechman et al. 1989; Campbell 1996; Rodda et al. 2001).”
Climate change and amphibians (2005, background): “Early drying of temporary ponds may result in less time available to complete metamorphosis (Semlitsch, 1987; Pechmann et al., 1989, Rowe & Dunson, 1995).”
Critical Elements for Biologically Based Recovery Plans of Aquatic‐Breeding Amphibians (2002, background): “Biodiversity persists in a given area because each species is periodically favored and experiences “boom” years in which large numbers of metamorphs of one species or another are produced (e.g., Gill 1978; Semlitsch 1983; Berven 1990; Pechmann et al. 1989; Semlitsch et al. 1996).”
