Effects of colour morph and season on the dehydration and rehydration rates of Plethodon cinereus

Amphibia-Reptilia (2015)

Geoffrey R. Smith Todd M. Johnson Wesley O. Smith

Plethodon cinereus has a striped morph and an unstriped morph that differ in aspects of their ecology and physiology. However, little is known about the water relations of these two morphs. The striped morph is often found at higher frequencies in moist conditions than is the unstriped morph. We examined dehydration and rehydration rates of striped and unstriped P. cinereus in the fall and spring. The morphs did not differ in dehydration rate, nor did dehydration rate differ between seasons. Striped salamanders rehydrated faster than unstriped salamanders. Salamanders in fall had greater rehydration rates than in spring. Our results suggest the striped morph may be better able to recover from water loss than the unstriped morph, whereas both morphs appear equally able to resist water loss.

Prevalence of Leeches and Algae on Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta) in Four Created Ponds in Central Ohio: Effects of Pond, Sex, and Age Class

Chelonian Conservation and Biology (2021)

Wesley O. Smith Jessica E. Rettig Logan E. Smith Geoffrey R. Smith

We examined the prevalence (% of turtles examined) of leeches (Placobdella parasitica) and algae (likely Arnoldiella sp.) on Chrysemys picta found in 4 recently created ponds in central Ohio. Chrysemys picta in ponds with fish were less likely to have leeches and more likely to have algae than those in ponds without fish. Across all ponds, males and females did not differ in leech or algal prevalence, whereas adults were more likely to have leeches than juveniles, but did not differ in algal prevalence.

Fecal Pellet Mass as a Function of Body Size, Color Morph, and Season in Plethodon cinereus (Green, 1818) (Amphibia: Plethodontidae)

The Journal of North American Herpetology (2021)

Geoff Smith A. Henry Logan Thomas Smith Wesley O. Smith

In plethodontid salamanders, fecal pellets have a variety of behavioral functions related to chemical communication. We examined how fecal pellet mass in the Eastern Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) varies with body size, color morph, and season. Fecal pellet mass increased with salamander size. Striped P. cinereus produced heavier fecal pellets than unstriped P. cinereus. Fecal pellet size tended to be greater in the spring than in the fall. Our results suggest further investigations of the factors governing fecal pellet size in plethodontid salamanders is warranted.

Repeatability of water loss and gain rates of Plethodon cinereus

Amphibia-Reptilia (2021)

Geoffrey R. Smith A. Henry Wesley O. Smith Logan E. Smith

Abstract Water loss and gain rates of amphibians are important to understanding their ecology, especially for plethodontid salamanders. We report the first estimates of repeatability of relative water loss and gain rates of the two major colour morphs of the Eastern Red-backed Salamander, Plethodon cinereus , in the fall and spring seasons. Repeatability of relative water loss in P. cinereus was >0 in the fall but not in the spring. Repeatability of relative water gain was significant for all salamanders pooled in the fall, and was not repeatable in the spring. There were no apparent differences in repeatability of relative water loss or gain between the two colour morphs. Our results suggest that the repeatability of relative water loss and gain rates varies by season, but not by colour morph.
