A Study of Habitat Selection and Fluctuating Asymmetry of Amybstoma tigrinum at Henderson Island Wildlife Management Area in Jefferson County TN.
Studies were conducted on a population of tiger salamanders, Ambystoma tigrinum, at Henderson Island Wildlife Management Area in Jefferson County, TN. Tests were conducted to locate the nonbreeding habitat of the salamanders and to detect any difference in fluctuating asymmetry (FA) between larval p...
