Neglected juveniles; a call for integrating all amphibian life stages in assessments of mitigation success (and how to do it)
SO Petrovan, BR Schmidt - Biological Conservation, 2019 - Elsevier
Road networks are central drivers of biodiversity loss and their impacts are rapidly
expanding. Pond-breeding amphibians are highly vulnerable to road impacts because they …

Bending the curve: Simple but massive conservation action leads to landscape-scale recovery of amphibians
Success stories are rare in conservation science, hindered also by the research-
implementation gap, where scientific insights rarely inform practice and practical …

How citizen science could improve species distribution models and their independent assessment
Species distribution models (SDM) have been increasingly developed in recent years, but
their validity is questioned. Their assessment can be improved by the use of independent …

Effectiveness of small road tunnels and fences in reducing amphibian roadkill and barrier effects at retrofitted roads in Sweden
JO Helldin, SO Petrovan - PeerJ, 2019 - peerj.com
Schemes to reduce road impacts on amphibians have been implemented for decades in
Europe, yet, several aspects on the effectiveness of such schemes remain poorly …

Continental‐scale determinants of population trends in European amphibians and reptiles
The continuous decline of biodiversity is determined by the complex and joint effects of
multiple environmental drivers. Still, a large part of past global change studies reporting and …

Contribution of rare and common species to subterranean species richness patterns
P Bregović, C Fišer, M Zagmajster - Ecology and Evolution, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Common species contribute more to species richness patterns (SRPs) than rare species
in most studies. Our aim was to test this hypothesis using a novel model system, species …
