plethodon cinereus

The behaviour of red back salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) has been much studied.

Red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) were captured in one site only.

It was once considered a subspecies of the red-backed salamander, Plethodon cinereus.

Occurrence of redback salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) was positively associated with the area of a forest patch.

Earlier lab experiments, also involving the red-backed salamander ( Plethodon cinereus ), showed that the bacteria produce chemicals able to attack the fungus.

The four-toed salamander can be easily mistaken for the redback salamander (Plethodon cinereus) in the wild.

The snake refused every frog offered to it, feeding instead chiefly on Redback Salamanders (Plethodon cinereus).

The red-backed (or redback) salamander (Plethodon cinereus) is a small, hardy woodland salamander.

Influence of cover and moisture on abundances of terrestrial salamanders Plethodon cinereus and Plethodon glutinosis.

Assortative mating with respect to two common color morphs: striped and unstriped also exists in a polymorphic population of eastern red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus).

Similarly, the bacterium Lysobacter gummosus found on the red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus), produces the compound 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol that is inhibitory to the growth of B. dendrobatidis.

Histology and ultrastructure of the caudal courtship glands of the Red-Backed Salamander, Plethodon cinereus (Amphibia: Plethodontidae).

Microphonic potentials were recorded from the inner ear of anesthetized adult and juvenile Notophthalmus viridescens, adult Plethodon cinereus, and larval Ambystoma maculatum lying prostrate in air on a horizontally vibrating platform.

Its anti-fungal properties are of particular interest since J. lividum is found on the skin of certain amphibians, including the red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus), where it prevents infection by the devastating chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis).

Occasionally a specimen is found that has a striking superficial resemblance to some colour phase of the Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus), but the comparatively larger hind legs and the light bar from the eyes to the angle of the jaw in D. ochrophaeus distinguish it, even in juveniles (Bishop 1941; Orr 1989).
