Abstract excerpt
The plethodontid salamander Desmognathus orestes, a member of the D. ochrophaeus species complex, is distributed in southwestern Virginia, eastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina. Previous allozyme analyses indicate that D. orestes consists of two distinct groups of populations (D. orestes 'B' and D. orestes 'C') with extensive intergradation and probable gene flow between these two groups. Spatially...
