摘要

Populations of aquatic-breeding amphibians are declining from habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation. Identifying how populations are affected by landscape barriers such as roads is essential for conservation and requires understanding the processes underpinning species occupancy in fragmented landscapes. Here, I assessed relationships between the occupancy dynamics of the threatened green and golden bell frog (Litoria aurea) and accessible habitat; i.e., the area of breeding and non-breeding habitat around a wetland that can be reached by an amphibian without having to cross a highway. I hypothesised that relationships between occupancy and accessible habitat would be stronger than relationships with the area of extant native vegetation, road density or distance to the highway. I also examined relationships with local habitat variables over a three-year period. Relationships with accessible habitat were stronger and more certain in explaining L. aurea occupancy and colonisation than other landscape variables. Accessible habitat was positively associated with wetland occupancy, which suggests the highway is having a barrier effect on the population. There was a positive relationship between road density and the probability of local extinction. Occupancy rates at highway compensatory ponds increased from near-zero within six months of pond construction, to & 30% after 12 months. There was a negative relationship between local extinction and aquatic vegetation cover, highlighting the importance of habitat structure for L. aurea. Urban planners should consider accessible habitat when managing amphibian species in rapidly urbanising landscapes, so that all habitats required throughout a species' life cycle are protected.

Aurea占用和殖民,而不是其他景观变量。无障碍的栖息地与湿地入住率有关,这表明高速公路对人口对障碍影响障碍。道路密度与地方灭绝的概率之间存在正面关系。高速公路补偿池的入住率从占地面积六个月内的近零增加到& 12个月后30%。局部灭绝与水生植被覆盖之间存在负面关系,突出了栖息地结构对肺炎菌族的重要性。在快速城市风景中管理两栖物种时,城市规划人员应考虑可访问的栖息地,以便在整个物种生命周期中所需的所有栖息地受到保护。
