Long-term persistence of amphibian populations in a restored wetland complex

JW Petranka, EM Harp, CT Holbrook, JA Hamel - Biological conservation, 2007 - Elsevier

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 …

Wetland restoration for amphibians: should local sites be designed to support metapopulations or patchy populations?

JW Petranka, CT Holbrook - Restoration Ecology, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Pond‐breeding amphibians have been characterized as having metapopulation structure,
and a goal of many local restoration projects is to establish viable metapopulations …

Managing farm ponds as breeding sites for amphibians: key trade‐offs in agricultural function and habitat conservation

TM Swartz, JR Miller - Ecological Applications, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Response of amphibians to restoration of a southern Appalachian wetland: a long-term analysis of community dynamics

JW Petranka, CA Kennedy, SS Murray - Wetlands, 2003 - Springer
Although amphibians are increasingly being used to assess ecosystem function of
compensatory wetlands, there are almost no long-term studies of responses to ecological …

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 …

Amphibian colonization and use of ponds created for trial mitigation of wetland loss

JHK Pechmann, RA Estes, DE Scott, JW Gibbons - Wetlands, 2001 - Springer
Created ponds were built as an experiment in mitigating the loss of a wetland to
construction. We monitored amphibian breeding population sizes and juvenile recruitment at …

Demographic consequences of terrestrial habitat loss for pool‐breeding amphibians: predicting extinction risks associated with inadequate size of buffer zones

EB Harper, TAG Rittenhouse… - Conservation …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
