Productivity and significance of headwater streams: population structure and biomass of the black-bellied salamander (Desmognathus quadramaculatus) (2007, methodology): “Petranka & Murray (2001) included 2007 The Authors, Journal compilation 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Freshwater Biology, 53, 347–357 D. carolinensis (Dunn; sister species to D. ocoee) and E. wilderae in their streamside biomass estimates (Table 5).”
ESTIMATING DETECTION PROBABILITY PARAMETERS FOR PLETHODON SALAMANDERS USING THE ROBUST CAPTURE–RECAPTURE DESIGN (2004, background): “Heterogeneity may be present in salamander capture probabilities due to variations among species (Petranka and Murray 2001, Bailey et al. 2004) or age or size (Tilley 1980, Salvidio 2001) and could be the source of the slight lack-of-fit we observed in our goodness-of-fit tests.”
ESTIMATING SITE OCCUPANCY AND SPECIES DETECTION PROBABILITY PARAMETERS FOR TERRESTRIAL SALAMANDERS (2004, background): “Terrestrial salamander populations are believed to be largely subterranean, with only a small proportion of the population near the surface and available for capture on a given sampling occasion (Taub 1961, Heatwole 1962, Hairston 1987, Petranka and Murray 2001).”
The trophic role of a forest salamander: impacts on invertebrates, leaf litter retention, and the humification process (2014, background): “Woodland salamanders, by virtue of their enormous numbers (2950 to 18,000/ ha [Burton and Likens 1975a, Welsh and Lind 1992, Petranka and Murray 2001, Peterman et al. 2008]), and highly efficient conversion of invertebrate to vertebrate biomass (Pough 1983), are ecologically dominant taxa in…”
Making Great Leaps Forward: Accounting for Detectability in Herpetological Field Studies (2007, methodology): “Removal methods have been used by Bruce (1995), Salvidio (1998), Petranka and Murray (2001), and Jung et al. (2002).”
Amphibian Contributions to Ecosystem Services (2014, methodology): “These commonly incorporate experimental manipulations of density, including presence-absence, through depletions (Hairston 1987; Petranka and Murray 2001), enclosures or mesocosms (Morin et al. 1990; Harper et al. 2009; Earl et al. 2011) and other exclusion methods (Ranvestel et al. 2004; Whiles et…”
Monitoring Terrestrial Salamanders: Biases Caused by Intense Sampling and Choice of Cover Objects (2003, background): “Because most salamanders are underground at any given time (Test and Bingham, 1948; Taub, 1961; Petranka and Murray, 2001), samples from underneath natural cover objects may not be representative of the population as a whole.”
SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATION IN DETECTION PROBABILITY OF PLETHODON SALAMANDERS USING THE ROBUST CAPTURE–RECAPTURE DESIGN (2004, background): “Surface population size at a given site is expected to change temporally due to environmental conditions (Hairston 1987, Grover 1998, Petranka and Murray 2001) or seasonal behavioral patterns (DeMaynadier and Hunter 1998, Petranka 1998).”
Abundance, biomass production, nutrient content, and the possible role of terrestrial salamanders in Missouri Ozark forest ecosystems (2014, background): “Salamanders are abundant and comprise a large amount of biomass emerging from wetlands (Gibbons et al. 2006), in riparian habitat adjacent to headwater streams (Peterman et al. 2008), and in deciduous forests (Burton and Likens 1975b; Petranka and Murray 2001).”
