Influence of damming on anuran species richness in riparian areas: A test of the serial discontinuity concept.

Among our study sites, the number of tributaries increased farther downstream of dams, and this correlation was highly significant (Spearman's r s = 0.98, n = 42, p <0.01). 3.2 Anuran detections We observed 13 anuran species among all sites (Table 1 ) and, each species’ distribution encompasses our entire study area of north‐central South Carolina, and more broadly, much of the southeastern United States (Powell, Conant, & Collins, 2016 ).

Similarly, species‐specific occupancy estimates showed a trend of higher occupancy downstream from dams.
