• Factors Affecting the Use of Reforested Sites by Reptiles in Cleared Rainforest Landscapes in Tropical and Subtropical Australia (2006, background): “For example, a number of projects that have sought to restore habitat for reptiles have added key microhabitats, including logs, rocks, and burrows, to rehabilitated sites (Webb & Shine 2000; Mac Nally et al. 2001; Nelson et al. 2002; Nichols & Nichols 2003; Souter et al. 2004).”
• Engineering a future for amphibians under climate change (2011, background): “Journal of Applied Ecology 2011 British Ecological Society, Journal of Applied Ecology, 48, 487–492 Artificial shelters or burrows are useful supplemental refuges for reptiles (Webb & Shine 2000; Souter, Bull & Hutchinson 2004), but have not been well tested for amphibians.”
• Identifying the effectiveness and constraints of conservation interventions: A case study of the endangered lesser kestrel (2009, background): “caof interventions, include few sites or have short-term monitoring (e.g. Côté and Sutherland, 1997; Webb and Shine, 2000; Fox et al., 2005; Ausden and Bateson, 2005; Perkins et al., 2008).”
• THE ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF HABITAT AND MICROHABITAT USE IN LIZARDS:: A REVIEW (2001, background): “The rocks appear to be important for thermoregulation by these geckos (Downes and Shine, 1998; Webb and Shine, 2000), which may affect gecko growth and survivorship (Webb and Shine, 2000).”
• CANOPY STRUCTURE, MICROCLIMATE, AND HABITAT SELECTION BY A NOCTURNAL SNAKE, HOPLOCEPHALUS BUNGAROIDES (2003, unknown): “Although its numbers have declined in recent years (Shine et al. 1998, Goldingay and Newell 2000, Webb and Shine 2000, Webb et al. 2002a), historical evidence suggests that the species has long been confined to a small geographic range (Krefft 1869).”
• Habitat deterioration affects body condition of lizards: A behavioral approach with Iberolacerta cyreni lizards inhabiting ski resorts (2007, background): “This strategy has previously proved to be successful in the restoration and maintenance of other endangered reptile species (Hecnar and M’Closkey, 1998; Webb and Shine, 2000; Souter et al., 2004).”
