A Synthesis of Evidence of Drivers of Amphibian Declines (2020, background): “Since overcoming these early challenges, current evidence indicates that declines are real and that they are ongoing and catastrophic in some locations (e.g., Mahony 1996; Houlahan et al. 2000; Green 2003; Beebee and Griffiths 2005; Vredenburg et al. 2010).”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “Variation in the fluctuation of population size over time decreased in the order: pondbreeding species, stream-breeding species, terrestrial species, suggesting (for example) that land-dwelling salamanders display more stable populations than aquatic frogs (Green, 2003).”
There Is No Denying This: Defusing the Confusion about Atrazine (2004, background): “…from the Ecorisk panel (Carr, Giesy, Kendall, Smith, and Van Der Kraak, but with McCoy absent) and with funding from Syngenta, this same investigator (and apparently with the same data) reported that atrazine had no consistent effects on sex differentiation in this species (Gross et al. 2003).”
Fidelity and dispersal in the pond-breeding amphibian, Ambystoma opacum: Implications for spatio-temporal population dynamics and conservation (2007, background): “…amphibians: (1) are associated with discrete aquatic breeding sites, (2) often experience wide population fluctuations (Semlitsch et al., 1996; Green, 2003) that may vary temporally among proximate sites (Trenham et al., 2003) and (3) often appear to have high fidelity to natal ponds (i.e.,…”
Impacts of habitat loss and restoration on amphibian populations (2009, background): “…due to their generally low dispersal rates (Bowne and Bowers 2004), although that impact may differ among species according to their different mobility (e. g. Green 2003, Schabetsberger et al. 2004, Funk et al. 2005, Semlitsch 2008) and the ability to cross unsuitable areas between habitat patches.”
Dispersal and the metapopulation paradigm in amphibian ecology and conservation : are all amphibian populations metapopulations? (2005, background): “This is especially true for pond-breeding anurans species with a high turnover of local populations and dependent upon dispersal for its persistence, for without the effect of rescue from neighboring populations, they will suffer greater cumulative local extinctions (Green 2003).”
Sex, isolation and fidelity: unbiased long-distance dispersal in a terrestrial amphibian (2006, background): “For many species, such as plethodontid salamanders (Welsh and Droege 2001), with low variance in demographic characteristics, this ‘‘rescue effect’’ (Brown and Kodric-Brown 1977) may not be noticeable (Green 2003).”
Effects of experimental forestry treatments on a Maine amphibian community (2006, background): “Because of this, changes in juvenile life history traits due to habitat alteration can have repercussions in terms of metapopulation dynamics (Green, 2003).”
Mediterranean temporary ponds as amphibian breeding habitats: the importance of preserving pond networks (2009, background): “To meet this aim, studies including those carried out in the Mediterranean region have quantified the relationship between pond characteristics and amphibian richness ( Beja and Alcazar 2003; Knutson et al. 2004; Werner et al. 2007) species occurrence (Beja and Alcazar 2003; Van Buskirk 2005), or s”
Ecological traits of declining amphibians in upland areas of eastern Australia (2005, background): “Green (2003) found that terrestrial breeding species have low population variance, and populations were stable compared to pond and largestream breeding species.”
Pesticide Mixtures, Endocrine Disruption, and Amphibian Declines: Are We Underestimating the Impact? (2006, background): “The impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the environment is of special concern in amphibians, which are declining globally (Adams 1999; Alford and Richards 1999; Berger et al. 1998; Bishop et al. 1999; Blaustein and Kiesecker 2002; Blaustein and Wake 1990; Bridges and Semlitsch 2005; Burrowes”
Amphibian Declines in Brazil: An Overview 1 (2005, background): “Nonetheless, data suggest that amphibian populations have been decreasing worldwide, with declines generally outnumbering increases (Green 2003).”
Rapid enigmatic decline drives the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) to the edge of extinction in the Netherlands (2013, background): “Even though amphibians are known for their large fluctuations in abundance (Green, 2003), and the fire salamander may have a strong dispersal capacity (Schmidt, Schaub and Steinfartz, 2007), the rapidity of the decline seemed more to be indicative of a disease or a toxin (Blaustein and Kiesecker, 20”
Making Great Leaps Forward: Accounting for Detectability in Herpetological Field Studies (2007, background): “Such issues are apparent in the evaluation of global amphibian declines (Houlahan et al., 2000; Alford et al., 2001; Green, 2003; Schmidt, 2004).”
