Stream salamander mark-recapture abundance study at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, Otto, NC.

Mark-recapture data of the stream-dwelling plethodontid salamander species located in six streams within the Coweeta LTER site. The data covers the periods of May to August 2007 and 2008. Animals were either captured and given an individual mark using elastomer dye, or simply counted if animals were too small in size to mark. Animals were captured within 10, 1 m^2 plots within each stream using a 40 X 40 cm mesh bag filled with hardwood leaf litter, or by dipnet within each plot. Animals were identified, measured, marked, and released directly following capture.
