We collected Oklahoma salamanders under the bridge of OK Hwy 10 approximately 1.3 km downstream from Dundee's site, but our site is threatened by flooding from Grand Lake. Damming of creeks on private land for watering of cattle and recreational use also threatens many sites. More

We continued our studies (3,5) of Oklahoma salamander habitat during 1989 and 1991. From the observed local conditions, these were years of greater precipitation, greater stream flow, and more elevated ground water than in our previous studies conducted in 1988. More
