Review and synthesis of estimated vital rates for terrestrial salamanders in the family Plethodontidae
JS Howard, JC Maerz - Ichthyology & Herpetology, 2021 - meridian.allenpress.com
Population models depend on reliable estimates of vital rates, yet for many taxa, such
estimates and how they vary in response to spatial or temporal environmental gradients are …

Estimating survival for elusive juvenile Pond‐breeding salamanders
AF Messerman, RD Semlitsch… - The Journal of Wildlife …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Juvenile vital rates have important effects on population dynamics for many species, but this
demographic is often difficult to locate and track. As such, we frequently lack reliable …

Reconciling larval and adult sampling methods to model growth across life-stages
Individual growth rates are intrinsically related to survival and lifetime reproductive success
and hence, are key determinants of population growth. Efforts to quantify age-size …
