Fine-scale habitat associations of a terrestrial salamander: the role of environmental gradients and implications for population dynamics.
Environmental gradients are instrumental in shaping the distribution and local abundance of species because at the most fundamental level, an organism's performance is constrained by the environment it inhabits. In topographically complex landscapes, slope, aspect, and vegetative cover interact...
