Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on amphibians: A review and prospectus (2006, background): “These generalizations include that the effects of adjacent land use on amphibians can extend over large distances (Houlahan and Findlay, 2003), and that the proximity and area of upland/breeding habitat play a key role in determining occupancy (Laan and Verboom, 1990; Pope et al., 2000).”
Fidelity and dispersal in the pond-breeding amphibian, Ambystoma opacum: Implications for spatio-temporal population dynamics and conservation (2007, background): “High pond fidelity in this species is suspected (Pechmann et al., 1991), in which case local ‘‘pond-populations’’ even in close proximity may be effectively discrete, related only by occasional dispersal of juvenile animals (but see Petranka et al., 2004).”
Wetland Restoration for Amphibians: Should Local Sites Be Designed to Support Metapopulations or Patchy Populations? (2006, background): “That is, adults appear to treat local ponds within their normal activity range as habitat patches that are assessed for quality and opportunistically exploited (Blaustein 1999; Johnson & Semlitsch 2003; Petranka et al. 2004).”
Differentiating Migration and Dispersal Processes for Pond-Breeding Amphibians (2008, unknown): “…centered on a single pond, the use of multiple ponds in a relatively small area has also been described; thus, a cluster of ponds can constitute a single breeding unit that is genetically distinct (Ritke et al. 1991, Sinsch 1997, Marsh et al. 1999, Petranka et al. 2004, Zamudio and Wieczorek 2006).”
Distribution and environmental limitations of an amphibian pathogen in the Rocky Mountains, USA (2008, background): “…toads (=results) from sites within clusters, we increased our sample size at each cluster (Table 1), thus reducing potential false negative results (i.e., reporting Bd was absent when it was actually present) and increasing the independence between our sample units (Petranka et al., 2004).”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, methodology): “Data from Beebee (1995), Reading (1998), Blaustein et al.”
Amphibian species richness across environmental gradients (2007, background): “On the ESGR, species that were never known to call in ponds with fish began calling in these ponds the spring following extirpation of fish (Petranka et al. 2004).”
The significance of hydroperiod and stand maturity for pool-breeding amphibians in forested landscapes (2006, background): “The proximity of neighboring suitable breeding wetlands as potential source populations is generally considered a favorable landscape attribute that contributes to regional population viability (Gill 1978; Gibbs 1993; Trenham et al. 2003; Petranka et al. 2004).”
Amphibian production in forested landscapes in relation to wetland hydroperiod: A case study of vernal pools and beaver ponds (2009, background): “Amphibians can rapidly colonize newly created breeding sites (Hopey and Petranka, 1994; Patrick et al., 2008) and may respond to perturbations, such as fish invasions, human-associated disturbances, or prolonged drought, by moving to different breeding sites ( Petranka et al., 2004; Petranka and Ho”
Long-term persistence of amphibian populations in a restored wetland complex (2007, background): “A single local population may use the entire set of local ponds for breeding when the distance between ponds within a local cluster is less than the average dispersal distance of the species (Petranka et al., 2004).”
Mediterranean temporary ponds as amphibian breeding habitats: the importance of preserving pond networks (2009, background): “We have discriminated complexes of ponds located within the dispersal range of most amphibian species (\1000 m) (Smith and Green 2005) from the ponds located nearby (\200 m). Individuals may frequently move among adjacent ponds, as Marsh et al. (1999) reported for tungara frogs, and, in that case, g”
Monitoring the distribution of pond‐breeding amphibians when species are detected imperfectly (2005, background): “Denton and Beebee, 1993) and there is increasing evidence that ponds are not populations (Mann et al., 1991; Marsh and Trenham, 2001; Petranka et al., 2004; Jehle et al., 2005).”
