Hey everyone, I thought I'd do a thread about our new Open Access paper: "Landscape and management factors influence the occupancy dynamics of sympatric salamanders in an urban preserve system"! doi.org/10.1016/j.gecc… 1/19

In this paper, we analyzed a decade of long-term monitoring data from nature preserves in the suburbs of Chicago, Lake County. Specifically, we looked at two species: (A): Blue-spotted Salamander (Ambystoma laterale) and (B): Eastern Tiger Salamander (A. tigrinum). 2/19
Salamanders are poorly represented in the urban ecology literature, and our study site is a great place to study urban salamanders. Why? Lake County is one of the mostly densely populated counties in the United States! If that's not urban, I don't know what is! 3/19
