Influences of design and landscape placement parameters on amphibian abundance in constructed wetlands
CD Shulse, RD Semlitsch, KM Trauth, AD Williams - Wetlands, 2010 - Springer
As natural wetlands disappear, constructed wetlands may play vital roles in amphibian
conservation. However, previous investigations have concluded that artificial wetlands do …

Natural variation in morphology of larval amphibians: phenotypic plasticity in nature?
JV Buskirk - Ecological monographs, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Phenotypic plasticity has been studied intensively in experimental settings but infrequently
in nature, and therefore the relevance of experimental findings is poorly known. This is …
