Spooky #Salamander Alert! Yesterday, a SPARCnet team observed red-backed salamander cannibalism under a cover board at the Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock, New Hampshire – the #SPARCnet version of a Halloween horror flick! 📷s by Brett Amy Thelen
I love finding a coupla fellas hangin’ out together under the cover boards #salamanders #Plethodoncinereus #SPARCnet

Unlike most amphibians, red-backed salamanders practice some parental care. Females aggressively defend eggs against predators and neighbors. There are even some records of post-hatching attendance of offspring, like this rare find at a Western MA #SPARCnet site in 2017!
Richmond, VA is at the southern edge of the range of eastern red-backed salamanders, but don't let that catch you off guard - it has some of the highest salamander densities we have seen in #SPARCnet! Six sallies under one board is just a normal day in RVA!
Cool and wet = lots of red-backed and lead-backed salamanders in RVA! 38 on one plot + 6 beauties under one board while doing maintenance on another @SPARCnet_Sals
Dr. Tanya Matlaga and students at Susquehanna University had a successful field day last week. They kept busy measuring 48 salamanders in 3 plots, including two boards with three salamanders each & one individual with a forked tail! This can happen when tails regrow #SPARCnet
As we head into October (salamander month in the northeast), #SPARCnet sites are actively monitoring their local red-backs! Here's an update from Ohio.
Bridgewater State had their first #SPARCnet field day this past Friday. It's been dry in MA, so only six #salamanders: one was a recap first spotted in April 2018, and another was a teeny baby clocking in at 0.04 grams! Also spotted: five baby garter #snakes!
Are you enjoying the cooler weather? #SPARCnet salamanders sure are! PhD candidate Maisie MacKnight at Penn State kicked off the fall field season with this lovely female red-back, nearly 2 grams with 16 eggs! This is a good sign for the population and a successful field season!
Snowshoeing to salamander plots with @BAMdoesscience (📷 cred) to shovel snow for science! #sparcnet #salamanders #science #postdoc #WildlifeWednesday #sciencedoesntstopjustbecausethegovernmentdoes
We had a BLAST spending the day at McCabe Forest with Harris Center Naturalist, Karen Rent! Students worked together to set up a #SPARCnet site to monitor salamander populations. We will return to the site six times a year and send data to scientists at Penn State. #weareconval
Good day checking coverboards for Red-backed salamanders. #Sparcnet. 12 recaptures plus 23 new ones. Plus some cute newts
Thanks to @Gouldpr0 @salamander_gal and @meaghan_regina for kicking off our spring 2018 #SPARCnet sampling in Central Ohio. The unseasonable 1.5 inches of snowfall likely contributed to fewer salamanders, but >60 still captured! https://t.co/rZS3ZtZ8q0
