Barriers and flow as limiting factors in the spread of an invasive crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in southern California streams (2005, background): “clarkii can significantly alter amphibian species assemblages (Beja and Alcazar, 2003), and impact both aquatic invertebrates and macrophyte communities (Ilheu and Bernardo, 1993; Ilheu et al.”
Mediterranean temporary ponds as amphibian breeding habitats: the importance of preserving pond networks (2009, background): “…of soil and vegetation around these ponds, we focus solely on: (1) major structuring factors of pond communities such as pond hydroperiod (Beja and Alcazar 2003; Snodgrass et al. 2000; Werner et al. 2007), pond area (Beja and Alcazar 2003; Burne and Griffin 2005; Werner et al. 2007), and…”
Conservation of newt guilds in an agricultural landscape of Belgium: the importance of aquatic and terrestrial habitats (2008, background): “, 2001; Denoël and Lehmann, 2006), Italy (Ficetola and De Bernardi, 2004), Portugal (Beja and Alcazar, 2003) and Spain (Orizaola and Braña, 2006), fish have been shown to be negatively associated with the presence of newts.”

Influence of landscape characteristics on carnivore diversity and abundance in Mediterranean farmland (2009, background): “Agri-environmental management prescriptions are often targeted at maintaining or restoring critical feeding, reproduction or dispersal habitats of species or assemblages or species, generally assuming a direct link between habitat loss and farmland population declines (Stoate et al., 2001; Beja and ”
Odonata, Amphibia and Environmental Characteristics in Motorway Stormwater Retention Ponds (Southern France) (2005, background): “Many papers highlighted the importance of a suitable habitat within and surrounding the pond for amphibians conservation (Hecnar & MCloskey, 1996 b; Bishop et al., 2000a; Joly et al., 2001; Beja & Alcazar, 2003 ).”
Comparing annual vertebrate road kills over two time periods, 9 years apart: a case study in Mediterranean farmland (2011, result): “These results reveal the higher abundances of amphibians near the Park, as elevated numbers of these species are expected in moist areas (Beja and Alcazar 2003; Mazerolle et al. 2005; Benayas et al. 2006; Eigenbrod et al. 2008).”
From climate change predictions to actions – conserving vulnerable animal groups in hotspots at a regional scale (2010, background): “Availability of freshwater habitats will be particularly important in the regions predicted to have high species loss, the northern Iberian Peninsula and main mountain systems, but also in extreme southern regions (Beja & Alcazar, 2003).”
Multi-scale effect of landscape processes and habitat quality on newt abundance: Implications for conservation (2006, background): “Water depth and the abundance of aquatic vegetation are recognized predictors of the presence and abundance of most species of caudates (Joly et al. , 2001), although some species are also known to select shallow (Beja and Alcazar, 2003) and less vegetated ponds (Lecis and Norris, 2003).”
Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “Conversion of temporary ponds into permanent irrigation ponds also results in loss of amphibian breeding habitats (Beja and Alcazar, 2003).”
