Differences in integumentary permeability dictate alternative life history strategies in
amphibians and reptiles. Limiting resources for amphibians are chiefly associated with …

Information on amphibian responses to fire and fuel reduction practices is critically needed
due to potential declines of species and the prevalence of new, more intensive fire …

One of the most important hotspots of herpetological biodiversity in the United States,
California is home to many endemic amphibians and reptiles found nowhere else on earth …

A bstract Wildfire can influence a variety of stream ecosystem properties. We studied stream
temperatures in relation to wildfire in small streams in the Boise River Basin, located in …

Critical thermal limits represent an important component of an organism's capacity to cope
with future temperature changes. Understanding the drivers of variation in these traits may …

Increasing temperatures and climate-driven disturbances like wildfire are a growing threat to
many species, including cold-water specialists. Montane areas and cold streams are often …

Temperature has a profound effect on survival and ecology of amphibians. In the Pacific
Northwest, timber harvest is known to increase peak stream temperatures to 24◦ C or higher …

We compared summer stream temperature patterns in 40 small forested watersheds in the
Hoh and Clearwater basins in the western Olympic Peninsula, Washington, to examine …

Tailed frog (Ascaphus truei Stejneger) populations are at risk in much of the Pacific
Northwest, and recolonization of sites may be slow postlogging. To examine the terrestrial …

Movements and locomotor behaviour were studied in the most basal living frog family
(Leiopelmatidae: Ascaphus+ Leiopelmatidae), which includes two stream-dwelling species …
