We used an encircling drift fence at a breeding pond in conjunction with partial fences at 90, 172, and 332 m from the wetland to estimate the terrestrial distribution of adult marbled salamanders ...

Observations of certain ecological parameters during breeding and larval development were made on the salamanders Ambystoma opacum, Ambystoma texanum, and Ambystoma maculatum during 1971 in central ...

The marble salamander (Ambystoma opacum), a New Jersey State Species of Special Concern, occurs in moist woodlands and hillsides across the entire state.

Even the fine bones of the toes of the marbled salamander, or Ambystoma opacum, lit up (this effect could be the result of minerals in the bones, Davis says).

Some, such as the eastern tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum), reveal strips or blotches of color. In others, like the marbled salamander ( A. opacum ), bones and parts of their undersides light up.

For two of the species, Ambystoma opacum and Eurycea quadridigitata, this coincided with a 1.2 °C increase in overnight air temperature during their pre-breeding and breeding periods.

Jacob Kubel is a man on a mission. The 36-year-old conservation scientist with the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife has been crisscrossing the state since late August in search of ...
