Community structure and differential responses of aquatic turtles to agriculturally induced habitat fragmentation (2006, background): “Marchand and Litvaitis (2004) observed a negative relationship of abundance and vegetation and suggested movement may be restricted by dense vegetation.”
Review: Toward management of urban ponds for freshwater biodiversity (2019, background): “For example, in southeastern New Hampshire, abundance of the common aquatic turtle (Chrysemys picta) was greater in ponds with extensive stands of marginal vegetation than in ponds lacking these features (Marchand and Litvaitis 2004).”
Do species life history traits explain population responses to roads? A meta-analysis (2012, background): “Moreover, studies have found a higher proportion of male turtles in populations near roads (Marchand and Litvaitis, 2004; Aresco, 2005a; Gibbs and Steen, 2005; Patrick and Gibbs, 2010), likely due to higher road mortality in females, which make frequent movements associated with nesting activity…”
Reptile Road Mortality around an Oasis in the Illinois Corn Desert with Emphasis on the Endangered Eastern Massasauga (2008, background): “The negative effects of roads are often exacerbated in highly fragmented landscapes (Forman et al., 2003; Marchand and Litvaitis, 2004).”
The breeding performance of raptors in urban landscapes: a review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Although there is an increasing focus on the ecological responses of various taxa to urbanisation (e.g. Wang et al. 2001; Marchand and Litvaitis 2004; Wania et al. 2006; Hamer and McDonnell 2008; Ahrné et al. 2009; Vermonden et al. 2009; Bateman and Fleming 2011), the majority of studies appear to f”
Heterogeneous wetland complexes, buffer zones, and travel corridors: Landscape management for freshwater reptiles (2007, background): “…all been identified as significant predictors of species persistence and local abundance for wetland reptiles at distances ranging from 250 to 2000 m from focal wetlands (Findlay and Houlahan, 1997; Joyal et al., 2001; Ficetola et al., 2004; Marchand and Litvaitis, 2004; Attum et al., in press).”
The effect of sex-specific terrestrial movements and roads on the sex ratio of freshwater turtles (2005, background): “, male-biased), especially in areas of dense roads and human development (Marchand and Litvaitis, 2004; Steen and Gibbs, 2004).”
Predicting Hot Spots of Herpetofauna Road Mortality Along Highway Networks (2009, background): “Painted turtles are also known to regularly move overland between nearby wetlands (Bowne et al. 2006) and thus may be at elevated risk of mortality where roads bisect these wetland networks (Marchand and Litvaitis 2004).”
