• Amphibian declines: future directions (2003, background): “We have advanced our understanding of the amphibian decline problem substantially since the anecdotal reports of scientists in the late 1980s, but continuing research has made it increasingly clear that there is no easy solution (Wake, 1998; Kiesecker et al., 2001a).”
• Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “Competition mediated by salinity P Alcaraz et al. (2008) — Aphanius iberus — Reduced offspring production I Rincón et al. (2002) Salmonidae Coregonus albula Daphnia spp. Bosmina spp. Norway Increased clutch size and decreased body size of females Elimination of Daphnia longispina I & C Amundsen et a”
• Spatial Tests of the Pesticide Drift, Habitat Destruction, UV‐B, and Climate‐Change Hypotheses for California Amphibian Declines (2002, background): “Both empirical (Gross & Price 2000) and particularly theoretical (Kirkpatrick & Barton 1997) analyses of species' range limits support the view that adaptation only partially mitigates stressors and that species cannot infinitely adapt to environmental gradients.”
• Effects of Widespread Fish Introductions on Paedomorphic Newts in Europe (2005, background): “In addition, introduced species can negatively affect native amphibian species by serving as pathogen vectors (Kiesecker et al. 2001).”
• The Novel and Endemic Pathogen Hypotheses: Competing Explanations for the Origin of Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife (2005, background): “The water mold S. ferax can act synergistically with UV-B radiation so that its impact is enhanced when the embryonic system of disease defense is weakened by the stress of UV radiation (Kiesecker & Blaustein 1995; Kiesecker et al. 2001a).”
• Complexity in conservation: lessons from the global decline of amphibian populations (2002, background): “Furthermore, studies of all three pathogens fulfil Koch’s postulates (Jancovich et al. 1997; Kiesecker et al. 2001b; Nichols et al. 2001).”
• Alien predators and amphibian declines: review of two decades of science and the transition to conservation (2003, background): “While bullfrogs are thought frequently to be competitors with other amphibians (Kupferberg, 1997; Kiesecker et al., 2001b), adults are generalist predators and also feed on native amphibians (Zweifel, 1955; Beringer & Johnson, 1995; Kiesecker & Blaustein, 1997).”
