Rövid leírás:
Examines over fifty years of research of the red-backed salamander.
Hosszú leírás:
The small, terrestrial eastern red-backed salamander is abundant on many forest floors of northeastern North America. Dr. Robert Jaeger and many of his graduate students spent over 50 years studying this species in New York and Virginia, using ecological techniques in forests and behavioral experiments in laboratory chambers in an attempt to understand how this species interacts with other species in the forest and the components of its intra- and intersexual social behaviors.
The competitive and social behaviors of this species are unusually complex for an amphibian. This species is highly aggressive towards other similar-size species where they cohabit in forests, often leading to very little geographic overlap between the species. The authors examine the fascinating behavioral traits of this species including social monogamy, mutual mate guarding, sexual coercion, inter-species communication, and conflict resolution.
The research program of Jaeger et al. has had a profound effect not only on our understanding of red-backed salamanders, but has also made clear how remarkably complex animal behavior can be in species once considered lowly and simple. [...] Finally, this volume ends with a call to future scientists: [the studies] reviewed in this book have produced a jigsaw puzzle of P. cinereus, with only a few of the pieces fitting together. We hope that younger colleagues now studying P. cinereus will complete the jigsaw puzzle, or at least add new pieces to it. I was certainly inspired to sit down at the puzzle table.
