FAUNA OF YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK LAKES HAS LOW RESISTANCE BUT HIGH RESILIENCE TO FISH INTRODUCTIONS (2005, background): “These results are largely consistent with those of other studies describing impacts of trout on the fauna of mountain lakes (Stoddard 1987, Bradford et al. 1998, Carlisle and Hawkins 1998, Knapp et al. 2001, Pilliod and Petersen 2001, Matthews et al. 2002).”
Food Habits of the Grass Snake in Southeastern England: Is Natrix natrix a Generalist Predator? (2004, background): “Thus, the distribution of N. natrix might well be tied to presence of anurans (cf. Matthews et al., 2002).”
Alien predators and amphibian declines: review of two decades of science and the transition to conservation (2003, background): “For example, a recent study extends the negative correlation between trout and frogs by looking at a third species, an aquatic garter snake that feeds primarily on frogs (Matthews et al., 2002).”
