Project Overview: Genetic analyses can guide the conservation and management of state-listed wildlife species by providing a unique source of information on important yet poorly-understood biological characteristics of these animals. Here we propose to extend our existing genetic work on two such organisms: first, the salamanders making up theAmbystoma salamander complex that includes the all female unisexual lineages and a state-listed species, the Blue-spotted Salamander (A. laterale) and second, the state-endangered Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake (Sistrurus c. catenatus).
