Drought-mediated extinction of an arid-land amphibian: insights from a spatially explicit dynamic occupancy model
Zylstra ER, Hossack BR, Muths E, Steidl RJ, Swann DE. 2019. Drought-mediated extinction of an arid-land amphibian: insights from a spatially explicit dynamic occupancy model. Ecological Applications
Study of lowland leopard frogs in understanding how natural and anthropogenic processes affect population dynamics of species with patchy distributions to predicting their responses to environmental changes. The results highlight the importance of accounting for factors that govern temporal variation in transition probabilities, as both extinction and colonization rates varied with hydrologic conditions.
