Genetic characterization and habitat use of Eurycea pterophila salamanders from Jacob's Well, Hays County, Texas

We sampled Eurycea pterophila, typically considered a spring-associated species, from unprecedented depths within Jacob's Well, a natural cave in the Trinity Aquifer. Nearly all of the captures followed high spring-flow events (25–70 cubic feet per second [cfs]), with almost no individuals seen...

Zusammenfassung:We sampled Eurycea pterophila, typically considered a spring-associated species, from unprecedented depths within Jacob's Well, a natural cave in the Trinity Aquifer. Nearly all of the captures followed high spring-flow events (25–70 cubic feet per second [cfs]), with almost no individuals seen or trapped during low flow (
