Book Chapter
Salamanders (Caudata)
2022
Overview
This chapter examines salamanders. It begins with mole salamanders, particularly the Western Tiger salamander. This species has a long history of being transported around the United States for all the wrong reasons: initially as fish bait, and presently as part of the pet trade. The effects of human-mediated dispersal and establishment of extralimital populations are evident today in hybrid swarming, species replacement, and confused biogeography. The chapter then looks at lungless salamanders, including the Seal salamander and the Southern two-lined salamander. The Seal salamander is not native to Arkansas. A population was detected in a spring in 2003 and reported in 2004; the colony was derived from northern Georgia in association with the bait market. The Southern two-lined salamander is native to eastern Illinois; however, it is exotic to McKee Creek, Brown County, and LaMoine River, McDonough County, in western Illinois.
