POND-BREEDING AMPHIBIAN SPECIES DISTRIBUTIONS

by Jesse Cunningham, In A Beaver-modified Landscape , 2003
"... In order to maintain pond-breeding amphibian species richness, it is important to understand how both natural and anthropogenic disturbances affect species assemblages and individual species distributions both at the scale of individual ponds and at a larger landscape scale. The goal of this project ..."

Terrestrial distribution of pond-breeding salamanders around an isolated wetland

by David E Scott , Mark J Komoroski , Dean A Croshaw , Philip M Dixon , 2013
"... Abstract. Terrestrial habitats surrounding isolated wetlands are a critical resource for many pond-breeding amphibian species, yet few studies have examined the terrestrial distribution of post-metamorphic juveniles and adults. We used an encircling drift fence at a breeding pond in conjunction wit ..."

Mediterranean temporary ponds as amphibian breeding habitats: the importance of preserving pond network. Aquatic Ecology

by Alexandre Portheault , 2009
"... Abstract We describe the spatial and temporal variation in the main characteristics of amphibian breeding habitats in Doñana National Park (south of Spain), during two hydrologic cycles with different rainfall amounts and timing (2002–2003 and 2005– 2006). We also evaluate amphibian habitat require ..."

of pond charac-teristics at different sampling dates, suggesting that a pond description based on a single survey may not be representative. Eight of nine amphibian species attempted breeding in both years in spite of the marked inter-annual variability. Habitat models were species-specific and year

The influence of habitat characteristics on amphibian species richness in two river basins of Romania

by T. Hartel, L. Demeter, D. Cogălniceanu, Mirela Tulbure
"... We present the distribution and aquatic habitat use of amphibian communities in two river basins of Transylvania (Romania) on a medium spatial scale: the middle section of Târnava Mare Valley and the Upper section of the Olt Valley. We used between 13 and 15 variables to characterize the breeding po ..."

Multiple overseas dispersal in amphibians

by Miguel Vences, David R. Vieites, Frank Glaw, Henner Brinkmann, Joachim Kosuch, Michael Veith, Axel Meyer - Proc. R
"... Amphibians are thought to be unable to disperse over ocean barriers because they do not tolerate the osmotic stress of salt water. Their distribution patterns have therefore generally been explained by vicari-ance biogeography. Here, we present compelling evidence for overseas dispersal of frogs in ..."

Species Diversity and Distribution of Amphibians and Reptiles in

by Stanimira R. Deleva, Ivelin A. Mollov, Valentina M. Fidanova, Er K. Mechev
"... Abstract. The current study presents briefly the species composition and distribution of the amphibians and reptiles in the Nature Park "Sinite Kamani " in Stara Planina Mnt. Bulgaria, based on a 2×2 km UTM grid. Between 2012 and 2014, we identified total 20 species (7 amphibians and 13 re ..."

Strategies to Maintain Amphibian Populations on Golf Courses Exploring the roles of golf courses in the environment.

by W. C. Paton, Robert, S. Egan
"... B"ologists are increasingly concernedwith amphibian populationsbecause of documented declines on local, regional, and even global scales. A variety of factors have been implicated in these declines (e.g., intro-duced predators, fertilizers, pollutants, and UV- B radiation in sunlight), and one ..."

of the leading factors is the impact of habitat fragmentation on pond-breeding amphibians (4). This article focuses on pond-breeding amphibians because the majority of amphibian species in the Northeast breed in ponds (six species of sala-manders and 10 species of frogs), while fewer species breed in streams or

Estimating hydroperiod suitability for breeding amphibians in southern Rhode Island seasonal forest ponds

by Dennis E. Skidds, Francis C. Golet , 2003
"... In New England, seasonal forest ponds provide primary breeding habitat for several amphibian species, including Rana sylvatica (LeConte) and Ambystoma maculatum (Shaw). Because each species requires a minimum duration of inundation to complete its breeding cycle, one of the most important factors de ..."
