Catastrophic Reproductive Failure, Terrestrial Survival, and Persistence of the Marbled Salamander

Article Abstract:

Research on marbled salamander populations at Rainbow Bay, South Carolina show that while catastrophic reproductive failure does not pose an extinction risk, frequency of failure and decrease in life span do. A model delineating extinction risk is provided.
