How plants affect amphibian populations
Descriptions of amphibian habitat, both aquatic and terrestrial, often include plants as
characteristics but seldom is it understood whether and how those plants affect amphibian …

Resilience, experimentation, and scale mismatches in social-ecological landscapes
Growing a resilient landscape depends heavily on finding an appropriate match between
the scales of demands on ecosystems by human societies and the scales at which …

A resistant‐kernel model of connectivity for amphibians that breed in vernal pools
BW Compton, K McGarigal, SA Cushman… - Conservation …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Pool‐breeding amphibian populations operate at multiple scales, from the individual pool to
surrounding upland habitat to clusters of pools. When metapopulation dynamics play a role …

Using normative scenarios in landscape ecology
J Iverson Nassauer, RC Corry - Landscape ecology, 2004 - Springer
The normative landscape scenario is one of many types of scenario methods that are used
by landscape ecologists. We describe how normative landscape scenarios are different from …

Quantifying functional connectivity: experimental assessment of boundary permeability for the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita)
VM Stevens, É Leboulengé, RA Wesselingh… - Oecologia, 2006 - Springer
Like other pond-breeding amphibians, the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) typically presents
a patchy distribution. Because the species experiences high probabilities of local population …
