Vertebrate Burrows from Triassic and Jurassic Continental Deposits of North America and Antarctica: Their Paleoenvironmental and Paleoecological Significance (2004, background): “The Morrison Formation comprises successions of conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, limestone, and evaporites that were deposited in alluvial, lacustrine, palustrine, eolian, and continental-marine transitional environments (Brady, 1969; Peterson and Turner-Peterson, 1989; O’Sullivan, 1992”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “…and Bodie 2003), higher operating and tolerance temperatures (Stebbins and Cohen 1995), and a greater capacity for bladder water storage (up to 20%–30% of their body mass; Zug 1993), which may partly explain their apparent tolerance for warmer and drier conditions (deMaynadier and Hunter 1995).”
Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (2007, background): “Individuals are collected for the pet trade also, with nearly 41,500 individuals removed in just 1990 from the wilds of Florida (Pough et al., 1998).”
Fish Traits: A Database of Ecological and Life‐history Traits of Freshwater Fishes of the United States (2009, background): “Balon’s guilds were determined from detailed (and sometimes multiple) accounts of a species’ mode of reproduction, including choice of substrates and degree of parental care. reproductive mode assignments provided by Simon (1999) and coker et al. (2001) were also consulted.”
DEVELOPING A PROTOCOL FOR THE CONVERSION OF RANK-BASED TAXON NAMES TO PHYLOGENETICALLY DEFINED CLADE NAMES, AS EXEMPLIFIED BY TURTLES (2004, background): “As an example, according to many textbooks on turtles, all members of the Cryptodira retract their necks along a vertical plane (albeit to a variable degree, e.g., Pritchard, 1979; Ernst and Barbour, 1989; Zug et al., 2001), an observation based on living cryptodiran turtles only.”
Moving in two worlds: aquatic and terrestrial locomotion in sea snakes (Laticauda colubrina, Laticaudidae) (2001, background): “Among reptiles, phylogenetic shifts between aquatic and terrestrial habits have occurred independently within the turtles, crocodilians and squamates (Porter, 1972).”
The global diversity and distribution of lizard clutch sizes (2020, background): “Gymnophthalmids, being mostly leaf-litter inhabitants, and anoles, being predominately scansorial (mostly arboreal, but with many leaf-litter species; for example, Losos, 2009; Vitt & Caldwell, 2013), could perhaps not penetrate temperate desert belts and migrate further north.”
Ecosystem services provided by amphibians and reptiles in Neotropical ecosystems (2013, background): “…in some respects; for example species from these two classes occupy close habitats, are ectotherms, and are similarly vulnerable to habitat degradation, disturbance, pollution of the environment, introduction of exotic species, etc. (Pough et al. 2004; Goldstein et al. 2005; Andrews et al. 2008).”
Classification strengths of ecoregions, catchments, and geographic clusters for aquatic vertebrates in Oregon (2000, background): “There are few native fish species in coldwater streams, and amphibians tend to replace fishes in the headwaters (Moyle and Marchetti 1998).”
A Structured Approach for Developing Indices of Biotic Integrity: Three Examples from Streams and Rivers in the Western USA (2007, methodology): “Aquatic vertebrates (fish and amphibians) were sampled via backpack or raft electrofishing, which is an effective method of collecting instream amphibians (Connor et al. 1988; Moyle and Marchetti 1999; Hughes et al. 2004).”
The Palaeozoic Ancestry of Salamanders, Frogs and Caecilians (2007, background): “Although some primitive living frogs, including pipids and discoglossids, were once grouped as tongueless or aglossid frogs (Porter, 1972), recent work by Peters & Nishikawa (1999) has shown that the most primitive living frog, Ascaphus, has the same basic structure and function of the tongue as tha”
