  • Desiccation rates of Rana sylvatica, Rana clamitans, and Bufo americanus in a fragmented forest 

    Rehard, Lelande; Rittenhouse, Tracy A. Green, 1978-; Harper, Elizabeth B., 1978-; Semlitsch, Raymond D. (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
    Habitat loss and fragmentation are the primary causes in the declines of amphibian populations. Farming, urban sprawl, and logging have created a mosaic of developed and undeveloped land that may create barriers between ...

  • Effects of Timber Harvest on Amphibian Populations: Understanding Mechanisms from Forest Experiments 

    Semlitsch, Raymond D.; Todd, Brian D.; Blomquist, Sean M.; Calhoun, Aram J. K.; Gibbons, J. Whitfield, 1939-; Gibbs, James P.; Graeter, Gabrielle J.; Harper, Elizabeth B., 1978-; Hocking, Daniel J.; Hunter, Malcolm L., Jr.; Patrick, David A.; Rittenhouse, Tracy A. Green, 1978-; Rothermel, Betsie B. (American Institute of Biological Sciences, 2009)
    Harvesting timber is a common form of land use that has the potential to cause declines in amphibian populations. It is essential to understand the behavior and fate of individuals and the resulting consequences for vital ...

  • The role of terrrestrial habitat in the population dynamics and conservation of pond-breeding amphibians 

    Harper, Elizabeth B., 1978- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    I used both demographic modeling and experimental field research to evaluate the role of terrestrial habitat in the population dynamics and conservation of pond-breeding amphibians. I began by using literature data to ...
