“…First, few published studies have examined SAA over large geographic areas (but see Bury et al, 1991 andKroll et al, 2008), instead focusing on individual streams within several local watersheds. Ecological conditions vary significantly from southern British Columbia to northern California (the distributional limits of Ascaphus truei and Dicamptodon spp.…”

“…For example, Hunter (1998) found larval R. kezeri in 2/52 (3.5%), larval A. truei in 2/21 (9%), and metamorphosed A. truei in 0/62 (0%) streams where crayfish were present (these streams all occurred within one basin in the Oregon Cascades). In addition, Kroll et al (2008) estimated that A. truei stream occupancy was 5 times higher when crayfish were absent. However, Russell et al (2004Russell et al ( , 2005 did not find support for a negative effect of crayfish on either R. cascadae or R. kezeri.…”

“…Considerable research has been conducted on the distribution and ecology of these species, with a special emphasis on their response to forestry practices (Corn and Bury, 1989;Wilkins and Peterson, 2000). Researchers have documented a range of SAA responses, including extirpations at the local scale to high occupancy rates in managed stands that have been harvested at least once (Kroll et al, 2008). While SAA are often abundant in streams within late-successional forests (Corn and Bury, 1989;Adams and Bury, 2002), numerous reports indicate that SAA can be abundant in streams draining intensively managed stands Wallace, 1996, 1999;Wilkins and Peterson, 2000;Steele et al, 2002Steele et al, , 2003Russell et al, 2004;Hayes et al, 2006).…”

However, streams and rivers are usually unsuitable habitats for most amphibian species, mainly because of strong currents and high predation risk by fishes.…”

The importance of fluvial habitats for amphibian conservation in the Mediterranean climate

The importance of standing water habitat for amphibians is widely known and recognized. However, in some arid or semiarid zones the availability of these temporal habitats is uncertain and fluvial habitats could play a very important role for amphibian conservation. For example, in the Mediterranean region many fluvial habitats have a temporary character, lacking predatory fish populations and hosting diverse amphibian communities. To compare the relative importance of various fluvial and still water habitats, we studied the breeding amphibian community over a wide area from 2006 to 2008 in southwestern Spain. All amphibian species found in the area were present in lotic habitats and the highest amphibian diversity was found in temporary stream habitats. Fluvial habitats were among the most important habitats used for reproduction by eight amphibian species of conservation concern, whereas for seven species a significant positive selection was found towards one or several fluvial habitat types as reproduction habitats. The conservation of fluvial habitats including rigorous impact assessments and management programs can be very important for the conservation of endangered amphibians in these semi-arid areas.

“…Wintle et al (2004) reviewed six approaches for estimating detection probability and found that maximum likelihood methods used by MacKenzie et al (2002) were the least biased. Recently, these maximum likelihood methods have been used by amphibian researchers to quantify the effects of survey timing (Muths et al 2005;Weir et al 2005;Gooch et al 2006), habitat covariates , and survey-specific covariates (Dodd and Dorazio 2004;Bailey et al 2004;Weir et al 2005;Pellet and Schmidt 2005;Smith et al 2006;Kroll et al 2008) on detection probabilities. Aquatic macroinvertebrate detection probabilities within ponds in Vermont were shown to vary considerably depending on sampling period (VT DEC and VT NNHP 2003).…”

Assessing Detection Probabilities of Larval Amphibians and Macroinvertebrates in Isolated Ponds

Isolated ponds provide vital habitat for an array of vertebrates and invertebrates. Given the potential decline in protection of isolated ponds and the increase in urbanization in northeastern North America, knowledge of the condition of this aquatic resource is essential for developing revisions to existing regulations, conservation efforts, and restoration initiatives. We were interested in the ability of rapid assessment methods, which require only one site visit, to estimate the condition of isolated ponds. During 2008, we conducted dip-net surveys at 10-day intervals from mid-May to late July 2008 at each of 36 isolated ponds in Rhode Island. We calculated detection probabilities for larval amphibian species and predatory macroinvertebrate families and assessed factors influencing detection probabilities. Most taxa displayed distinct seasonal phenologies in detection probabilities. Pond depth and vegetative characteristics also influenced detection probabilities of many taxa. Based on seasonal variation in detection probabilities, rapid assessment methods would not be effective to monitor overall biodiversity of isolated ponds in southern New England. Rather, multiple visits would be required to estimate occupancy rates of pondbreeding amphibians or aquatic macroinvertebrates if they were used as ecological indicators of pond condition.
