Amphibian movements in response to forest edges, roads, and streambeds in southern New England
Article Abstract:
A study was performed to prevent dispersing amphibians and evaluate their movements relative to forest edge and substrate through the establishment of drift fences and pitfall traps. The study site was located at the Yale Natural Preserve in New Haven, CT. Results revealed that forest edges relative to open lands were penetrated by amphibians compared with road edges. Roads were observed to be significant obstacles against amphibian movements.

A vital rate sensitivity analysis for nonstable age distributions and short-term planning
Article Abstract:
Perturbation analysis, Vital Rate Sensitivity Analysis (VRSA) were presented to identify the vital rate that almost limits population growth over any specified period by determining, which vital rate had the greatest effect on population growth. It was found that VRSA was used to compare effects of incremental or specific changes in vital rates, specific management alternatives that affect single or multiple vital rates.
