The potent neurotoxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) is known from a diverse array of taxa, but is unknown in terrestrial invertebrates. Tetrodotoxin is a low molecular weight compound that acts by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, inducing paralysis. Howe

This is the first guide yet produced to the amphibians and reptiles of New York State, a large and heavily populated state that hosts a surprisingly diverse and interesting community of amphibians and reptiles. This much needed guide to the identific

Abstract Hardwood forests of eastern North America have experienced decades of acidic deposition, leading to soil acidification where base cation supply was insufficient to neutralize acid inputs. Negative impacts of soil acidity on amphibians includ

We investigated whether the trophic ecology of an apex predator is influenced by ecosystem-level nutrient depletion. The feeding behavior and nutrient assimilation of a terrestrial salamander, Eastern Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus (Green,

Road traffic causes significant amphibian and reptile mortality, which could be mitigated through the installation of road crossing structures that facilitate safe passage, but only if reptiles and amphibians are willing to use them. Through a series

An increasing number of exotic terrestrial planarian species have established populations worldwide. In North America, the most prominent inva- sive flatworms are three members of the broadhead planarian genus Bipalium. Herein we report observations

The invasive terrestrial planarian Bipalium kewense is found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate zones. The rate of spread and ecological impact of the flatworm will depend in part on its reproductive strategies. Members of this species reproduc

Summary Comparisons between invasive species and their relatives can help in identifying traits that facilitate dispersal and colonization, and comparisons among populations within invasive species may highlight the roles of plasticity and evolutiona

Bipalium adventitium Hyman, an exotic terrestrial planarian invading North America, is an aggressive predator on earthworms. The spread and ecological impact of this flatworm will be determined in part by the its interactions with potential predators

Timber harvesting may change forest floor habitats to the detriment of salamander populations. Although the impact of clear-cutting has received much attention, the widely-used practice of selective logging (in which individual trees or small groups
