Amphibian sensitivity to habitat modification is associated with population trends and species traits (2017, background): “…the mean Human Footprint Index within a 10-km radius around each study area; this buffer size is approximately three to five times the distance at which many amphibian populations/assemblages are structured (e.g., Smith & Green, 2005; Nowakowski, DeWoody, Fagan, Willoughby, & Donnelly, 2015).”
AMPHIBIAN UPLAND HABITAT USE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR POPULATION VIABILITY (2005, background): “Studies of a wide variety of amphibian species suggest that interpond distances of less than one kilometer should be maintained to avoid isolating breeding ponds (Marsh and Trenham 2001, Semlitsch 2002; but see also Smith and Green 2005).”
Fidelity and dispersal in the pond-breeding amphibian, Ambystoma opacum: Implications for spatio-temporal population dynamics and conservation (2007, background): “Much debate has centered on whether the metapopulation paradigm accurately describes many amphibian populations (Semlitsch, 2000; Marsh and Trenham, 2001; Smith and Green, 2005).”
A Synthesis of Evidence of Drivers of Amphibian Declines (2020, background): “Finally, amphibian populations can be organized as metapopulations (Pope et al. 2000; Marsh and Trenham 2001; but see Smith and Green 2005), with infrequent dispersal among local populations that exhibit independent population dynamics (Sinsch 2014).”
Sex, isolation and fidelity: unbiased long-distance dispersal in a terrestrial amphibian (2006, background): “Amphibians are not ordinarily considered to be capable of long-distance movements, although this may be due to a lack of data (Marsh et al. 1999) and an expression of the scale of investigation rather than the abilities of the animals (Turner 1960, Dole 1971, Smith and Green 2005).”
Mitochondrial differentiation and biogeography of Hyla meridionalis (Anura: Hylidae): an unusual phylogeographical pattern (2007, background): “Amphibians have generally been considered to be poor dispersers (Smith & Green, 2005) and for this reason the presence of H. meridionalis in oceanic islands such as Madeira and the Canary Islands has usually been explained as the result of human transport (Pleguezuelos, 2002).”
Pattern of distribution of the American bullfrog Rana catesbeiana in Europe (2007, background): “1b), a distance far exceeding the possibility of dispersal of this species estimated on the basis of mark-recapture and microsatellite data (Austin et al. 2004; Smith and Green 2005).”
Biodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians (2007, background): “…et al. / Forest Ecology and Management 246 (2007) 81–10790 Au th or 's pe rs on al co py represent elements linked in some kind of meta-structure (Smith and Green, 2005), and second, for those populations that display some kind of meta-structure, they can indicate which of the member…”
