• Long-term impacts of even-aged timber management on abundance and body condition of terrestrial amphibians in Northwestern California (2006, background): “All rights reserved te University of New Yor Hall, Syracuse, NY 13210 arraker). and Richards, 1999; Corn, 2000).”
• Climate change and amphibians (2005, background): “B hypothesis is controversial and has been the subject of a series of contentious critiques and rebuttals (Licht & Grant, 1997; Corn, 2000; Cummins, 2002; Kats et al., 2002; Blaustein et al., 2003b, 2004; Blaustein & Kats 2003; Licht, 2003).”
• The ecology of extinction: population fluctuation and decline in amphibians (2003, background): “…predators (Liss and Larson, 1991; Bradford et al., 1993; Morgan and Buttemer, 1996), habitat destruction (Blaustein et al., 1994a; Green, 1997a; Corn, 2000), and climate change (Pounds et al., 1999; Kiesecker et al., 2001) have all been touted as explanations for declines in amphibian…”
• Declines of the California red-legged frog: climate (2001, background): “…were first brought to the attention of the herpetological and conservation biology communities a decade ago (Barinaga 1990, Wake 1991), amphibian population declines have become a focal issue in both the scientific and popular media (for recent summaries, see Alford and Richards 1999, Corn 2000).”
• Seasonal migration of Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) among complementary resources in a high mountain basin (2002, background): “, climate change, increased UV-B, pathogens), local habitat destruction, modification, and isolation continue to reduce many amphibian populations (Alford and Richards 1999; Corn 2000; Marsh and Trenham 2001).”
• Distribution and environmental limitations of an amphibian pathogen in the Rocky Mountains, USA (2008, background): “For example, Bufo boreas has disappeared from many historic localities, especially in Colorado, over the last 20–30 years (Carey, 1993; Corn, 2000; Corn et al., 2005).”
