Article: Twelve-year study monitoring two species of pond-breeding salamanders in Northeast Ohio. (1).

ABSTRACT. Studies suggest a worldwide decline in amphibians during the last four decades, however these studies have rarely included long-term (>10 years) studies involving interacting species of North American salamanders. In this study, populations of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) and Jefferson Salamanders (A. jeffersonianum) at Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area in northeast Ohio were monitored for 12 years from 1990-2001 to provide baseline data and to test the null hypothesis that these populations are not in decline.
