    1: Salamander Identification Guide Citizen Monitoring of Wisconsins Salamanders by Wisconsin Audubon Chapters Randy Korb, Project Director Training Guides by Mary Linton

    3: Purpose of this Project Wisconsin has a long-term and successful monitoring program for frogs, toads and tree frogs, the members of the Class Amphibia that have males that call during mating . They use the calls of these amphibians to verify their presence in habitats all over the state. Salamanders, the other large group of the Class Amphibia, dont make mating calls, so cannot be monitored simply. This project seeks to begin a systematic monitoring of salamanders that will add to what is already known about their populations in Wisconsin. In specific, your efforts will help verify distributions of salamanders and fill the large gaps of knowledge in areas where salamander surveys have not been conducted. The data you collect will help preserve and protect Wisconsins salamanders.

    5: Wisconsins 6 salamander species exhibit the full range of Amphibian life cycles: Mole salamanders in the Family Ambystomatidae: breed in water, larvae are aquatic and adults are terrestrial. 3 species. Newts in the Family Salamandridae: breed in water, adults are aquatic, there are 2 sub adult stages first an aquatic larva and then a terrestrial juvenile called an eft. 1 species. Lungless Salamanders in the family Plethodontidae: 2 species in Wisconsin both with terrestrial adults, but one also has terrestrial larvae, while the other has aquatic larvae. Mudpuppies in the Family Proteidae: All life stages are aquatic. 1 species
