Abstract:
North America has more species of salamanders, 110, than any other place in the world. The southern Appalachians are famous worldwide for their salamanders that have lived there millions of years. At least 34 species have been identified there. Ellis describes the variations in the salamanders and discusses how geography played a part in their evolutionary development.
