BIOL 7754 - Field Herpetology

MLBS sits on the divide between the Atlantic and Mississippi drainages of the Appalachian Mountains, a hotspot for salamander biodiversity. We will explore the natural history, taxonomy, distribution, ecology, conservation, and diagnostic characteristics of Eastern North American amphibians and reptiles. We will visit habitats throughout the station, using a variety of methods to locate, identify, and survey aquatic and terrestrial herpetofauna.
