Integrating species life‐history traits and patterns of deforestation in amphibian conservation planning (2010, background): “, 2006), but additional attention to the spatial configuration of both terrestrial and aquatic habitats will improve the design of reserve networks for amphibian conservation at the regional scale (Crawford & Semlitsch, 2007; Gardner et al., 2007).”
Effects of Timber Harvest on Amphibian Populations: Understanding Mechanisms from Forest Experiments (2009, background): “Despite recognition of habitat loss and alteration as major contributors to amphibian declines, the effects of structural habitat change have not been well studied for amphibians (Gardner et al. 2007, deMaynadier and Houlahan 2008).”
Conserving Southeast Asian forest biodiversity in human-modified landscapes (2010, neutral): “(Gardner et al., 2007) to make results comparable.”
Amphibian sensitivity to habitat modification is associated with population trends and species traits (2017, background): “sections of reviews and syntheses (Gardner et al., 2007; Newbold et al., 2015) as well as “latest papers” on amphibian conservation listed”
Influences of Design and Landscape Placement Parameters on Amphibian Abundance in Constructed Wetlands (2010, methodology): “Data Analysis Because different species can respond uniquely to the same habitat variables (Gardner et al. 2007), we used abundance of individual species as response variables in regression models.”
Amphibian conservation, land-use changes and protected areas: A global overview (2015, background): “Threats include the synergistic effect of many extinction drivers, such as habitat fragmentation and degradation, diseases and climate change (Stuart et al., 2004; Gardner et al., 2007; Becker and Zamudio, 2011; Hof et al., 2011).”
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Herpetofaunal Sampling Techniques across a Gradient of Habitat Change in a Tropical Forest Landscape (2008, methodology): “…of trap arrays allowed us to simultaneously sample three sites that were each spaced more than 30 km apart (i.e., each site was visited every day, therefore maximizing our ability to capture the variability in species assemblage composition within each habitat type; see Gardner et al., 2007a).”
Understanding the biodiversity consequences of habitat change: the value of secondary and plantation forests for neotropical dung beetles (2007, background): “Finally, many existing studies on habitat change suffer from methodological limitations that can dilute the perceived effect of forest conversion on biodiversity (Gardner et al. 2007a).”
Beyond occurrence: Body condition and stress hormone as integrative indicators of habitat availability and fragmentation in the common toad (2011, background): “Consequently, there is a great need to focus on individual processes which reflect proximal ecological mechanisms underlying population responses to landscape alterations (Ewers and Didham, 2006; Gardner et al., 2007).”
The Amphibian Extinction Crisis - what will it take to put the action into the Amphibian Conservation Action Plan? (2012, background): “Many authors have documented how habitat change can cause amphibian declines and extinctions (Gallant et al., 2007; Gardner et al., 2007; Sodhi et al., 2008; Hof et al., 2011).”
Anthropogenic and natural disturbance lead to differing patterns of gene flow in the Rocky Mountain tailed frog, Ascaphus montanus. (2010, positive): “Nonetheless, amphibians may be especially susceptible to disturbance effects because of relatively narrow physiological tolerances and documented recent global declines due to habitat change (Gardner et al., 2007).”
Impacts of habitat loss and restoration on amphibian populations (2009, background): “…and alien species, global warming, enhanced ultraviolet radiation, increased environmental acidity, contaminants, and over-exploitation (Alford and Richards 1999, Semlitsch 2000, Blaustein and Kiesecker 2002, Collins and Stofter 2003, Beebee and Griffiths 2005, Cushman 2006, Gardner et al. 2007).”
Amphibian decline, pond loss and reduced population connectivity under agricultural intensification over a 38 year period (2017, background): “As a result, it is widely regarded that habitat loss and alteration, largely due to ongoing changes in agricultural practice and wider land-use, has been the overarching factor causing declining amphibian populations in large parts of the Holarctic (Collins 2010; Heatwole 2013; Houlahan et al. 2000;”
