Density Dependence in the Terrestrial Stage of Wood Frogs: Evidence from a 21-Year Population Study (2009, background): “Experimental studies have directly linked variation in larval density and its effects on larval metamorphic traits to postmetamorphic fitness (Goater, 1994; Scott, 1994; Morey and Reznick, 2001; Altwegg, 2003).”
FITNESS EFFECTS FROM EGG TO REPRODUCTION: BRIDGING THE LIFE HISTORY TRANSITION (2005, background): “In addition, most models (but see, e.g., Crowley 2000) and empirical tests (but see, e.g., Morey and Reznick 2001) fail to acknowledge that the relationship between larval constraints and adult fitness may not be general within a species and may be sex specific.”
Impacts of cattle on amphibian larvae and the aquatic environment (2008, background): “We measured body size of larvae, because it is often correlated with post-metamorphic survival and reproduction, and used as an index of evolutionary fitness in amphibians (Wilbur, 1976; Morin, 1983; Morey & Reznick, 2001).”
Invasive Plant and Experimental Venue Affect Tadpole Performance (2006, unknown): “A reduction in wetland quality for amphibians through L. salicaria invasion would likely reduce survival and fitness of juveniles and adults and could contribute to population declines (Berven 1990; Morey and Reznik 2001; Álvarez and Nicieza 2002; Relyea and Hoverman 2003).”
