Life history and habitat of the rare Patch-Nosed Salamander (Urspelerpes bruceii). Camp, C. D, Brock, T. L., Pierson, T. W, Milanovich, J. R., & Maerz, J. C. HERPETOLOGICAL CONSERVATION AND BIOLOGY, 13(3):609–616, 2018. abstract bibtex We examined the life history and habitat characteristics for the Patch-nosed Salamander, Urspelerpes brucei. Body-size measurements of individuals captured using litter bags and by hand from 2008 to 2010 indicated that the larval period lasts at least 2 y, salamanders attain reproductive maturity at or shortly after metamorphosis, and adults have very little variation in body size. Occupied streams are characterized by small size, little water, and narrow, steep-walled ravines. Within occupied streams, larval capture rate was significantly and negatively related to mean water depth, underscoring the importance of protecting headwaters. We hypothesize that the only known population of U. brucei east of the Tugaloo River was isolated from the west-bank populations by the tremendous increase in water flow caused by the capture of the Tallulah and Chattooga rivers by the Tugaloo as recently as the Pleistocene.
