Abstract
Marbled salamanders (Ambystoma opacum) range throughout much
of the eastern United States from eastern Texas and Oklahoma, northeast
through Illinois and Indiana to southern New Hampshire and central Massachusetts,
and south to north Florida. Disjunct populations occur along the southern
edge of Lake Michigan; locality data are summarized by Anderson (1967b).
Additional localities are reported for east Texas (Baldauf and Truett,
1964), Louisiana (Dundee and Rossman, 1989) southeastern Oklahoma (Trowbridge,
1937), Missouri (Johnson, 1987), Mississippi (Ferguson, 1961b), Indiana
(La-Pointe, 1953), Alabama (Mount, 1975), north Georgia (Martof, 1955),
North Carolina (E.E. Brown, 1992), and Rhode Island (Doty, 1978).
