Diversity, biogeography and the global flows of alien amphibians and reptiles (2017, background): “Most established alien amphibians originate from North and South America, the latter being the hotspot of global native amphibian diversity (Hof et al., 2011).”
Rapid enigmatic decline drives the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) to the edge of extinction in the Netherlands (2013, background): “…declines, but also by range reductions and extinctions of some species (Houlahan et al., 2000; Stuart et al., 2004; IUCN, 2012), and they may be part of a sixth major extinction event (Wake and Vredenburg, 2008), for which there is no single cause (Blaustein et al., 2011; Hof et al., 2011).”
Climate change vulnerability assessment of species (2018, methodology): “Correlative modeling of poorly known and small-range species can rely on simplified correlative techniques (Hof, Araújo, Jetz, & Rahbek, 2011; Platts et al., 2014), more complex techniques with adjusted parameters (Hof et al., 2011), methods that account for potential biases in sampling effort…”
Amphibians over the edge: silent extinction risk of Data Deficient species (2014, background): “The specific regions highlighted in our results show considerable overlap with regions identified by a previous spatial assessment of major amphibian threat processes (Hof et al., 2011).”
Towards Causal Inference for Spatio-Temporal Data: Conflict and Forest Loss in Colombia (2020, background): “, in terms of vascular plants [Kreft and Jetz, 2007], or certain animal groups like amphibians [Hof et al., 2011].”
A 40‐year, continent‐wide, multispecies assessment of relevant climate predictors for species distribution modelling (2014, background): “…assess the potential impact of climate, land use and other environmental changes on species distributions (Thuiller et al., 2005; Lawler et al., 2009; Hof et al., 2011; BarbetMassin et al., 2012b) and to support conservation planning and reserve selection (Williams et al., 2005; Marini et al.,…”
Global Biodiversity Change: The Bad, the Good, and the Unknown (2012, background): “As expected, there is an agreement between the spatial distribution of areas of natural habitat being converted to agriculture and the distribution of species affected by habitat loss (Figure 7a,b), including in Madagascar, some areas of sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, the Middle East,”
Drivers of Extinction Risk in Terrestrial Vertebrates (2017, background): “Although frequently cited as the second most important threat overall, invasive species had this rank only in amphibians (reflecting the impact of disease organisms such as chytrid fungus and ranaviruses: Hof et al. 2011).”
A Synthesis of Evidence of Drivers of Amphibian Declines (2020, background): “Accumulated evidence from many field studies has led to a general consensus on the major factors driving amphibian declines (Collins and Storfer 2003; Sodhi et al. 2008; Hof et al. 2011) but consistent evidence for a single driver (or group of drivers) at larger scales is lacking.”
Global patterns of agricultural land‐use intensity and vertebrate diversity (2015, background): “Fertilizers have been shown to negatively affect biodiversity and, along with pesticides, pose a substantial threat to biodiversity for birds, mammals and amphibians (Kerr & Cihlar, 2004; Gibbs et al., 2009; Kleijn et al., 2009; Hof et al., 2011).”
Multiple Dimensions of Climate Change and Their Implications for Biodiversity (2014, background): “In principle, threats or opportunities for biodiversity should increase where species are simultaneously exposed to several dimensions of climate change (2, 97).”
Hot and bothered: Using trait-based approaches to assess climate change vulnerability in reptiles (2016, background): “, 2014; Westoby and Burgman, 2006); other threats, acting synergistically with climate change, may be more easily understood and recorded, thus underestimating the importance of climate change (Hof et al., 2011).”
