Comparative water snake ecology: conservation of mobile animals that use temporally dynamic resources (2004, background): “Numerous reptiles that use wetlands have declined as well ( Gibbons et al., 2000 ), including the copperbelly water snake, Nerodia erythrogaster neglecta, a subspecies of the plainbelly water snake.”
New primers for the amplification and sequencing of nuclear loci in a taxonomically wide set of reptiles and amphibians (2010, background): “Additionally, amphibians and reptiles are also amongst the most problematic animals in terms of conservation, with well documented world-wide declines in recent years (Stuart et al. 2004; Gibbons et al. 2000 ).”
Biogeographical patterns derived from remote sensing variables: the amphibians and reptiles of the Iberian Peninsula (2009, background): “As these taxonomic groups are particularly susceptible to habitat- and climatic changes due to their ectothermic physiology and low dispersal capacity, the study on the distribution of amphibians and reptiles in the Iberian Peninsula can as well be considered as a priority for the development of stu”
The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “…2007; Jelks et al. 2008) – as well as many amphibians and freshwater reptiles, and 10,000-20,000 freshwater macroinvertebrate species (especially crayfi sh and unionid mussels) are threatened (Gibbons et al. 2000; Revenga et al. 2005, Strayer 2006; Taylor et al. 2007; Strayer and Dudgeon 2010).”
On the brink of extinction? How climate change may affect global chelonian species richness and distribution (2012, background): “Poikilothermic animals are suggested to be especially affected by changing climate (e.g., Hutchinson, 1992; Miller et al., 2004; Sinervo et al., 2010) and global reptile declines likely caused by multiple factors have already been observed (Gibbons et al., 2000).”
Crab trapping causes population decline and demographic changes in diamondback terrapins over two decades (2007, background): “Reptile populations worldwide are suffering from anthropogenic impacts (Gibbons et al., 2000).”
