Effects of landscape characteristics on amphibian distribution in a forest-dominated landscape (2005, background): “These factors in turn may breakdown critical metapopulation processes and alter the structure and persistence of amphibian populations (Gill, 1978; Berven and Grudzien, 1990; Sjögren, 1991; Hecnar and M Closkey, 1996; Beebee, 1997; reviewed in Semlitsch, 2000 and Marsh and Trenham, 2001).”
Revisiting translocation and reintroduction programmes: the importance of considering stress (2007, background): “Translocation and reintroduction are important in metapopulation management; for example, to increase gene flow between small isolated populations or to repopulate areas where a species has been extirpated (Clemmons & Buchholz 1997; Caro 1998; Marsh & Trenham 2001; Pedrono et al. 2004).”
Estimating Decline and Distributional Change in Amphibians (2003, background): “As the issue of whether declines have occurred has receded, a premium has begun to be placed on information related to the prevalence, degree, and causes of distributional changes (Pounds et al. 1997; Skelly & Meir 1997; Semlitsch 2000; Davidson et al. 2001; Marsh & Trenham 2001; Young et al. 2001).”
Mediterranean temporary ponds as amphibian breeding habitats: the importance of preserving pond networks (2009, background): “... attribute for amphibians in some studies (Burne and Griffin 2005; Sztatecsny et al. 2004); (4) water-chemistry characteristics relevant for amphibians (Hecnar and M’Closkey 1996; Knutson et al. 2004) and related to salinity, ionic composition, nutrient concentrations, and primary production; and”
Seasonal migration of Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) among complementary resources in a high mountain basin (2002, background): “, climate change, increased UV-B, pathogens), local habitat destruction, modification, and isolation continue to reduce many amphibian populations (Alford and Richards 1999; Corn 2000; Marsh and Trenham 2001).”
MULTIPLE STRESSORS AND SALAMANDERS: EFFECTS OF AN HERBICIDE, FOOD LIMITATION, AND HYDROPERIOD (2004, background): “Because of these metapopulation dynamics, many populations may be incapable of compensating for local declines (Marsh and Trenham 2001) and may contain little variation on which selection can act.”
Postbreeding Emigration and Habitat Use by Jefferson and Spotted Salamanders in Vermont (2003, background): “Management plans that focus only on protecting breeding pools may fail to maintain viable amphibian breeding populations; therefore, identifying and protecting necessary terrestrial habitat should be a priority (Marsh and Trenham, 2001).”
Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on amphibians: A review and prospectus (2006, background): “There is a clear need for studies that focus on the mechanisms that drive patterns of distribution and abundance (Marsh and Trenham, 2001; Bowne and Bowers, 2004).”
Multi-scale effect of landscape processes and habitat quality on newt abundance: Implications for conservation (2006, background): “However, habitat quality can negatively affect pattern of distribution and thus mask metapopulation structures (Marsh and Trenham, 2001 and Resetarits, 2005).”
Amphibians in a human-dominated landscape: the community structure is related to habitat features and isolation (2004, background): “Despite many studies about amphibian metapopulations considered each wetland a patch with its related population, this approach was recently criticised because many of the amphibian species that use the wetlands do so only in the reproductive season ( Marsh and Trenham, 2001 ).”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “J. Zool.84: 1604–1615 (2006) doi:10.1139/Z06-146 # 2006 NRC Canada development), local (i.e., foraging, migration, and overwintering), and landscape (i.e., dispersal) scales (Marsh and Trenham 2001; Semlitsch 2002; Porej et al. 2004).”
Declining amphibian populations: a global phenomenon in conservation biology (2001, background): “…structure and the critical role of processes such as emigration and colonisation in amphibian populations, a regional monitoring perspective is important in order to distinguish overall regional declines from local (and essentially stochastic) extinctions (MARSH & TRENHAM, 2000; MARSH, 2001).”
Amphibian decline, pond loss and reduced population connectivity under agricultural intensification over a 38 year period (2017, methodology): “Their dispersal success will depend on both pond availability (i.e. quantity—the distance to travel) and on the characteristics of the intervening landscape (i.e. quality—the difficulty and risk of travel) (Marsh and Trenham 2001; Mazerolle and Desrochers 2005).”
