THE IMPACT OF INSECTICIDES AND HERBICIDES ON THE BIODIVERSITY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF AQUATIC COMMUNITIES (2006, background): “…light of the global decline of amphibians (Wake 1998, Alford and Richards 1999, Houlihan et al. 2001, Blaustein and Kiesecker 2002) which, in some cases, is correlated with a proximity to agricultural areas that use pesticides (Bishop et al. 1999, Davidson et al. 2001, 2002, Sparling et al. 2001).”
DECLINING DOWNWIND: AMPHIBIAN POPULATION DECLINES IN CALIFORNIA AND HISTORICAL PESTICIDE USE (2004, methodology): “Fourth, other factors such as introduced predators (e.g., Fisher and Shaffer 1996, Lawler et al. 1999, Knapp and Matthews 2000) and habitat destruction (Davidson et al. 2001, 2002) have certainly contributed to declines, making it difficult to disentangle the role of pesticides.”
EFFECTS OF AN HERBICIDE AND AN INSECTICIDE ON POND COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND PROCESSES (2005, background): “…in the western United States have been correlated with physiological signatures of insecticide exposure (i.e., reduced cholinesterase activity and increased insecticide concentrations in tissues; Sparling et al. 2001), and with greater amounts of upwind agriculture (Davidson et al. 2001, 2002).”
Climate change and amphibians (2005, background): “Davidson et al. (2001, 2002) examined the geographic patterns of the declines of several amphibian species in California, related to climate, UV–”
Ultraviolet radiation, toxic chemicals and amphibian population declines (2003, background): “Davidson et al. (2001) concluded that patterns of decline in red-legged frogs in California were caused most probably by pesticides carried upwind from the Central Valley.”
Spatial Tests of the Pesticide Drift, Habitat Destruction, UV‐B, and Climate‐Change Hypotheses for California Amphibian Declines (2002, methodology): “Rana a. draytonii had a clear gradient of increasing declines with elevation (as predicted by the UV-B hypothesis), but did not display the predicted north-to-south gradient ( Davidson et al. 2001).”
Global amphibian declines: sorting the hypotheses (2003, background): “Protected areas are affected by many factors, including introduced alien species (Knapp et al ., 2001; Kats & Ferrer, 2003), toxins that may blow into these areas (Davidson et al ., 2001; Blaustein et al. , 2003), climate change (Pounds et al ., 1997) and pathogens that can invade these systems.”
Estimating Decline and Distributional Change in Amphibians (2003, methodology): “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).”
Pesticide Mixtures, Endocrine Disruption, and Amphibian Declines: Are We Underestimating the Impact? (2006, background): “…1999; Blaustein and Kiesecker 2002; Blaustein and Wake 1990; Bridges and Semlitsch 2005; Burrowes and Green 2004; Carey et al. 1999; Daniels 2003; Davidson et al. 2001, 2002; Delis et al. 1996; Green 2003; Hayes 1997a; Kiesecker et al. 2001; LeNoir et al. 1999; Licht and Grant 1997; Lips et al.…”
The effects of the frog Eleutherodactylus coqui on invertebrates and ecosystem processes at two scales in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico (2003, background): “Although research has been conducted to document the causes and extent of amphibian loss (Davidson et al. 2001, Pounds & Crump 1994, Woolbright 1997), few studies have examined how changes in their population levels might influence the systems that they inhabit (Wyman 1998).”
PREDATOR CUES AND PESTICIDES: A DOUBLE DOSE OF DANGER FOR AMPHIBIANS (2003, background): “…amphibian populations over much of the globe began to attract attention a decade ago (Blaustein and Wake 1990, Blaustein 1994, Blaustein et al. 1994, Pechmann and Wilbur 1994) and is now a welldocumented phenomenon (Wake 1998, Alford and Richards 1999, Davidson et al. 2001, Houlihan et al. 2001).”
Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations (2010, background): “[212] concluded that pesticides carried upwind from the Central Valley of California may be contributing to declines in red-legged (Rana aurora)”
Optical characteristics of natural waters protect amphibians from UV-B in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (2002, background): “Several causes have been proposed, including ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) (Blaustein et al. 1994), non-native predators (Knapp and Matthews 2000), climate change (Lips 1999, Pounds et al. 1999), habitat degradation (Davidson et al. 2001), and pathogens (Berger et al. 1998).”
ECOTOXICOLOGY OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES (2002, methodology): “For example, Davidson et al. (2001, 2002) observed that a number of amphibian species with declining populations occurred upwind from agricultural lands in the central valley in California.”
Climate change and amphibian declines: is there a link? (2003, background): “© 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Diversity and Distributions, 9, 111–121 range in California (Davidson et al., 2001).”
Threats and biodiversity in the mediterranean biome (2009, background): “Furthermore, Davidson et al. (2001) found amphibians were almost exclusively extirpated from agricultural lands in California, thus the low frequency persistence of certain species may mask the threat of agricultural impacts on their, once widespread, distribution and abundance.”
