ABSTRACT The southeastern United States contains the largest area on Earth devoted to
intensive pine growth and represents an area experiencing rapid forest conversion for …

There is little information on the effects of tree harvest on salamander populations in the
midwestern United States. We present data on plethodontid salamander densities in …

We used a terrestrial vacuum to sample known area plots in order to obtain density
