| USGA Summary Points: | In 2004, researchers radio-tagged and monitored movements of 78 spotted salamanders at Lake of Isles Golf Course in eastern Connecticut Mean migration distances were greater for salamanders on the golf course (mean = 150 meters) compared to salamanders on an adjacent contiguous forested plot (mean = 100 meters). Adult salamanders readily crossed fairways on rainy nights Eastern Garter Snakes were a major predator of spotted salamanders at Lake of Isles, with 12% of 78 radio-tagged salamanders preyed upon by snakes. Based on drift-fence array captures, 10 species of amphibians were detected attempting to cross fairways. |
