The success of ponds constructed to restore ecological infrastructure for pond‐breeding
amphibians and benefit aquatic biodiversity depends on where and how they are built. We …

Success stories are rare in conservation science, hindered also by the research-
implementation gap, where scientific insights rarely inform practice and practical …

Urban areas are increasing in number, extent, and human population density worldwide.
There is potential to mitigate negative impacts of urbanization to native pond-breeding …

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 …

In conservation science, metapopulation models are frequently used to explore the spatial
dynamics of organisms, and ultimately guide management decisions for threatened and …

Although breeding habitats for amphibians are frequently created in restored wetlands,
populations at restored sites often have no connectivity to neighboring populations and are …

Pond‐breeding amphibians have been characterized as having metapopulation structure,
and a goal of many local restoration projects is to establish viable metapopulations …

We present data on amphibian density, species richness, and diversity from a 7140-ha area
consisting of 200 ponds in the Midwestern US that represents most of the possible lentic …

Many amphibian species rely on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats to complete their life
cycles. Therefore, processes operating both within the aquatic breeding habitat, and in the …

Small freshwater ponds host diverse and vulnerable biotic assemblages but relatively few
conspicuous, specially protected taxa. In Europe, the amphibians Triturus cristatus and …
