In 1989, it dawned on participants at the First World Congress of Herpetology that observed
declines in amphibian populations might actually be global in scope and unprecedented in …

N‐mixture models were born in 2004 of the necessity to model animal population size from
point counts with imperfect detection of individuals, where capture‐recapture methods are …

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 …

Connectivity is a central concept in ecology, wildlife management, and conservation
science. Understanding the role of connectivity in determining species persistence is …

Abstract Knowledge of variation in population processes (eg population growth) across
broad spatiotemporal scales is fundamental to population ecology and critical for …

Conservation translocations are increasingly used to help recover imperiled species.
However, success of establishing populations remains low, especially for amphibians …

Wetland creation is a common practice to mitigate for the loss of natural wetlands. However,
there is still uncertainty about how effectively created wetlands replace habitat provided by …

Ecological theory postulates that the size and isolation of habitat patches impact the
colonization/extinction dynamics that determine community species richness and population …

Interspecific interactions and movement are key factors that drive the coexistence of
metapopulations in heterogenous landscapes. Yet, it is challenging to understand these …

Monitoring programs are pivotal to establishing sound management. Due to economic,
logistic, and time limitations, monitoring programs often overlook differences among life …
