Long-term persistence of amphibian populations in a restored wetland complex
Although breeding habitats for amphibians are frequently created in restored wetlands,
populations at restored sites often have no connectivity to neighboring populations and are …

Responses of amphibians to restoration of a southern Appalachian wetland: perturbations confound post-restoration assessment
JW Petranka, SS Murray, CA Kennedy - Wetlands, 2003 - Springer
Although regulatory, agencies in the USA typically require 3–5 yr of post-restoration
monitoring of biotic responses to wetland mitigation, many researchers have argued that …

Managing farm ponds as breeding sites for amphibians: key trade‐offs in agricultural function and habitat conservation
Millions of farm ponds have been constructed in agricultural landscapes around the globe.
These ponds are built to support a variety of functions, including erosion control, cattle …

Amphibian production in forested landscapes in relation to wetland hydroperiod: a case study of vernal pools and beaver ponds
NE Karraker, JP Gibbs - Biological Conservation, 2009 - Elsevier
Many amphibian species are plastic in their selection of breeding sites and use both short-
and longer-hydroperiod wetlands. Understanding which wetland types are most important to …
