Bibliography edit
Donlon, K. C., McElroy, T., & Jensen, J. B. (2021, December 16). Isolation by Distance shapes population Genetic structure of a rare terrestrial salamander, Plethodon Petraeus, with an extremely small range. Herpetological Conservation and Biology. https://www.herpconbio.org/Volume_16/Issue_3/Donlon_etal_2021.pdf[1]
- This is a paper published by 3 researchers in the United States. The paper aims to devise a management plan for how best to keep the Pigeon Mountain Salamander from going extinct.
- This resource gives me good information on the life history of the Pigeon Mountain Salamander. It allows me to better understand what poses as threatening to this species and what helps this species thrive.
(2020). Pigeon mountain salamanders. The Amphibian Foundation. https://www.amphibianfoundation.org/index.php/research/pigeon-mountain-salamanders[2]
- While this resource is small, it comes from a well respected foundation. Major findings include where within its small habitat that the Salamander takes shelter and what it eats.
- I believe this resource would be useful in explaining more about how the salamander behaves. This information can be used when explaining what the life of a Pigeon Mountain Salamander is like.
Jensen, J. B., & Camp, C. D. (2004). Plethodon petraeus. Catalogue of American Amphibians and Reptiles (CAAR).[3]
- This is a peer reviewed article worked on by ecologists that have published multiple works on the Pigeon Mountain Salamander. This resource provides a great definition of how this salamander was found to be a new species.
- This source gives detail on how the Pigeon Mountain Salamander looks and how to identify it. I plan to include this information on the wiki page as it is not already available.
Hammerson, G. (2004, April 30). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/59350/11921872[4]
- This resource is published by the IUCN Red List Organization. It provides an in depth collection of data describing pretty much all that is known about the Pigeon Mountain Salamander.
- This resource really hones in on the type of of ecosystem this salamander thrives in. This, along with its endangered status would be useful to include in my page.
Wynn, A. H., Highton, R., & Jacobs, J. F. (1988). A New Species of Rock-Crevice Dwelling Plethodon from Pigeon Mountain, Georgia. Herpetologica, 44(2), 135–143. http://www.jstor.org/stable/3892510[5]
- This is the first ever resource published on the Pigeon Mountain Salamander. Although it is from 1988, it provides an in person account of this salamander being seen for the first time. Because there are not many resources surrounding the Pigeon Mountain Salamander, I believe that reading the study of the people who found this salamander will be very useful.
- From this resource, I would like to include salamander body measurements that were obtained. I would also like to compare the information in this article to newer articles to see if this salamander has speciated since its original discovery.
