We reviewed literature describing the potential for freshwater anthropogenic waterbodies to
act as refuges from disturbance. We identified research related to the refuge potential of a …

Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. It strongly influences the dynamics
of spatially structured populations and affects evolutionary processes by shaping patterns of …

Context Landscape-scale research quantifying ecological connectivity is required to
maintain the viability of populations in dynamic environments increasingly impacted by …

The invasive species are of global concern, and the Invasive American Bullfrog (IAB;
Lithobates catesbeianus) is one of the worst invasive amphibian species worldwide. Like …

Amphibians have declined due to multiple impacts including invasive fish and the disease
chytridiomycosis caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) …

Classical metapopulation theory (CMT) has proven an attractive paradigm for ecologists
concerned with the conservation of aquatic-breeding amphibians, given its apparent fit with …

Landscape connectivity is important for the long‐term persistence of species inhabiting
dryland freshwater ecosystems, with spatiotemporal surface‐water dynamics (eg, flooding) …

Identification of habitat features that are strongly associated with the occurrence of
threatened species is important in terms of predicting impacts of habitat change and …

Species that occur in ephemeral habitats such as temporary waterbodies have evolved
specific strategies that allow them to respond to spatial and temporal variations in water …

Hydrological alteration has contributed to the global decline of stream frogs. Flows support
stream frog reproduction, juvenile development, food resources, and maintain habitats for all …
