Early assessment of the impact of alien species: differential consequences of an invasive crayfish on adult and larval amphibians (2011, background): “clarkii can cause the decline of native crayfishes through competition and the spread of the crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci (Gherardi, 2006; Gherardi & Panov, 2009), it preys on aquatic stages of amphibians and can cause the decline of several amphibian species (Gherardi et al., 2001; Kats & Fe”
The effects of urbanization on North American amphibian species: Identifying new directions for urban conservation (2012, background): “Lastly, Riley et al. (2005) provide an example of a neutral response by stating “At the stream scale, larval treefrog density was not related to urbanization in 2000…, although in 2001 larval density was marginally higher in urban streams (1.21 tadpoles/m vs. 0.82 tadpoles/m in natural streams”.”
Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future (2015, background): “Notably, increasing anthropogenic development resulted in simultaneous non-linear decreases in abundance of sensitive native species and increases in invasive species (Riley et al., 2005).”
Are urban systems beneficial, detrimental, or indifferent for biological invasion? (2017, background): “In urban streams in Los Angeles, USA, amphibians that are sensitive to water quality and habitat degradation decrease with increasing development, while stream occupancy by NIS increased (Riley et al. 2005).”
Differential responses of amphibians and reptiles in riparian and stream habitats to land use disturbances in western Georgia, USA (2008, background): “Such disturbances may extirpate salamander populations and then inhibit population establishment by increasing the mortality of eggs and larvae, as has been shown in other habitats (Welsh and Ollivier, 1998; Knuston et al., 1999; Willson and Dorcas, 2003; Riley et al., 2005; Price et al., 2006).”
Barriers and flow as limiting factors in the spread of an invasive crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in southern California streams (2005, background): “Waterfalls prevent the upstream dispersal of invasive fishes (Sabo and Pauley , 1997) and often are used as presumed barriers in comparative stream studies of non-native predators (Endler, 1991; Fraser et al., 1995).”
Effect of landscape context on anuran communities in breeding ponds in the National Capital Region, Canada (2007, background): “More recently, Riley et al. (2005) reported both positive and negative patterns of amphibian occurrence in natural and urban streams.”
Matrix is important for mammals in landscapes with small amounts of native forest habitat (2011, background): “Higher matrix development intensity can increase the resistance of the matrix to dispersal by reducing the likelihood of safe dispersal through greater predation by increased domestic or exotic predators (Riley et al. 2005; Campos et al. 2007) and a higher density of roads increasing chances of deat”
Invasion Complexities: The Diverse Impacts of Nonnative Species on Amphibians (2014, background): “, 2013) and urbanization (Riley et al., 2005), researchers have found ecological factors that largely affect the growth of nonnative species populations.”

Amphibian decline, pond loss and reduced population connectivity under agricultural intensification over a 38 year period (2017, background): “A consensus exists on the general negative influence of urbanization and arable cultivation (Greenwald et al. 2009; Riley et al. 2005; Trochet et al. 2016) and the heavy toll that roads inflict on amphibian populations is well documented (Fahrig and Rytwinski 2009; Garriga et al.”
