The Role of Microhabitats in the Desiccation and Survival of Anurans in Recently Harvested Oak–Hickory Forest (2008, methodology): “Enclosures of similar size were previously used by Rothermel and Semlitsch (2002) and Rothermel and Luhring (2005).”
Effects of Timber Harvest on Amphibian Populations: Understanding Mechanisms from Forest Experiments (2009, background): “We also showed that such microhabitat conditions lead to rapid water loss and high mortality in small-scale caging studies (Rothermel and Luhring 2005, Rittenhouse et al. 2008, Todd et al. 2008) and most likely provide the direct mechanism for reduced abundance demonstrated in many previous studies.”
Differential responses of amphibians and reptiles in riparian and stream habitats to land use disturbances in western Georgia, USA (2008, background): “The open nature of urban riparian habitat may increase desiccation rates, and concomitantly decrease survivorship, in some amphibian species (Rothermel and Semlitsch, 2002; Rothermel and Luhring, 2005).”
Movement ecology of amphibians: A missing component for understanding population declines (2014, background): “the heighteneddesiccation risk of terrestrialmovement in poor conditions (Rittenhouse et al., 2009; Rothermel and Luhring, 2005) or poor physiological condition as a result of disease (Parris and Cornelius, 2004), and a number of documented risks near the natal pond, such as depletion of energy rese”
Effects of forest removal on amphibian migrations: implications for habitat and landscape connectivity (2009, methodology): “We selected four forested sites on the Savannah River Site for study (see also Rothermel & Luhring 2005; Todd & Rothermel 2006).”
Assessing quality of clearcut habitats for amphibians: Effects on abundances versus vital rates in the southern toad (Bufo terrestris) (2006, background): “In contrast, Rothermel and Luhring (2005), using very small (0.33 m2) enclosures, found that mortality of A. talpoideum could occur quite rapidly in recent clearcuts, particularly if salamanders did not have access to burrows.”
