a resistant-kernel model of connectivity for amphibians that breed in vernal pools.	pool-breeding amphibian populations operate at multiple scales, from the individual pool to surrounding upland habitat to clusters of pools. when metapopulation dynamics play a role in long-term viability, conservation efforts limited to the protection of individual pools or even pools with associated upland habitat may be ineffective over the long term if connectivity among pools is not maintained. connectivity becomes especially important and difficult to assess in regions where suburban spraw ...	2007	17531056
temporally adaptive sampling: a case study in rare species survey design with marbled salamanders (ambystoma opacum).	improving detection rates for elusive species with clumped distributions is often accomplished through adaptive sampling designs. this approach can be extended to include species with temporally variable detection probabilities. by concentrating survey effort in years when the focal species are most abundant or visible, overall detection rates can be improved. this requires either long-term monitoring at a few locations where the species are known to occur or models capable of predicting populat ...	2015	25799224
