Hi all,
So I read in a book that salamanders/newts will travel to their breeding ponds/marshes/sites in a stream. So basically they hop in a stream and ride it all the way down to the breeding grounds.
Is this true? I think it was written in a book that was written in the 80's so I don't know how trustable it is.
If so, what species do this and approximately what is the percentage of the individuals that do?
Because if this is true, I want to set up some traps ( net and funnel traps ).
And also, will they travel in streams even if the streams don't go all the way to the breeding site?
Thanks! -Seth
