An experimental analysis of joint nesting in the Salamander Hemidactylium scutatum (Caudata : Plethodontidae) : the effects of population density

The theory that population density was positively associated with joint nesting was tested by following two populations of the plethodontid salamander Hemidactylium scutatum for five years and by experimentally manipulating the population density of nesting females in artificial habitats for the lat...
