Amphibians are frequently characterized as having limited dispersal abilities, strong site
fidelity and spatially disjunct breeding habitat. As such, pond‐breeding species are often …

Movement, both within an individual's home range and at the scale of dispersal, is a
fundamental aspect of an animal's life. The field of movement ecology has established a …

Understanding the movement of animals is critical to many aspects of conservation such as
spread of emerging disease, proliferation of invasive species, changes in land‐use patterns …

Kernel home-range estimators are becoming more widely used to determine the home-
range size for herpetofauna, despite the problems associated with selecting the appropriate …

Estimating the distribution of amphibians in terrestrial habitats surrounding wetlands is
essential for determining how much habitat is required to maintain viable amphibian …

Increasingly, host-associated microbiota are recognized to mediate pathogen establishment,
providing new ecological perspectives on health and disease. Amphibian skin-associated …

Both genetic cohesion among local populations of animals and range expansion depend on
the frequency of dispersers moving at an interpatch scale. Animal movement has an …

We used radio-telemetry to study the movements and habitat use of Western toads (Bufo
boreas) in the Targhee National Forest in southeastern Idaho. Eighteen toads (10 male and …

Amphibian populations continue to be imperiled by the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis). Understanding where B. dendrobatidis (Bd) occurs and how it may be …

Understanding the causes of population variation in host response to disease, and the
mechanisms of persistence, can serve as vital information for species conservation. One …
