limited influence of local and landscape factors on finescale gene flow in two pond-breeding amphibians.	dispersal and gene flow within animal populations are influenced by the composition and configuration of the landscape. in this study, we evaluated hypotheses about the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on genetic differentiation in two amphibian species, the spotted salamander (ambystoma maculatum) and the wood frog (lithobates sylvaticus) in a commercial forest in central maine. we conducted this analysis at two scales: a local level, focused on factors measured at each breeding pond ...	2015	25580642
characterizing the width of amphibian movements during postbreeding migration.	habitat linkages can help maintain connectivity of animal populations in developed landscapes. however, the lack of empirical data on the width of lateral movements (i.e., the zigzagging of individuals as they move from one point to point another) makes determining the width of such linkages challenging. we used radiotracking data from wood frogs (lithobates sylvaticus) and spotted salamanders (ambystoma maculatum) in a managed forest in maine (u.s.a.) to characterize movement patterns of popula ...	2014	24423254
