	Amphibians of the Kern River Valley
		Batrachoseps relictus (Relictual slender salamander) - Although originally described from several seepage areas in the lower Kern River Canyon, it has not been found there since the early 1970s and may well be extirpated from that area.
		Batrachoseps "Breckenridge" (Breckenridge Mountain slender salamander) - This is an undescribed species known only from a single seepage on the southeastern flank of Breckenridge Mountain at 6300 ft. First collected in 1979, the site was severely damaged by the re-routing of a logging road through the seep area.
		Batrachoseps - Although Pleistocene climate shifts had considerable effects on the distribution of many plants and animals in the American southwest, their role in explaining slender salamander distribution is probably minor.

		Batrachoseps aridus is a primitive species evolving earlier and probably from a common ancestor of B. stebbinsi (01) or it may be a relict of B.
		Four species of Batrachoseps (B. aridus, B. stebbinsi, B. pacificus, and B. simatus) may be fragmentations of a once widespread species (01).

	Marc Staniszewski's Slender Salamander Care Sheet
		Like a chameleon, Batrachoseps entire vision is directed forward so as to focus and judge with extreme accuracy the distance of the prey.
		Batrachoseps is quite bold in disposition, often found walking around after rainfall, during dawn and dusk.
		Please note that all Batrachoseps species and other amphibians are strictly protected within U.S. State and National Parks and should not be collected unless you have special authorisation to do so.

	Batrachoseps relictus - Relictual Slender Salamander
		Most Batrachoseps are active on rainy or wet nights when temperatures are moderate, fall through spring, retreating underground when the soil dries or when air temperature drops to near freezing.
		Batrachoseps species, when disturbed, may coil up and remain still, then uncoil quickly and spring away, repeatedly bouncing over the ground.
		The old type locality was at 730 m and other animals were found from as low as 500 m in the Kern Canyon in rocky areas with scanty tree cover consisting mostly of oaks with scattered pines and buckeyes and sycamores in creek bottoms.

		San Gabriel Mountain slender salamander is one of 19 recognized Batrachoseps salamanders.
		An additional Batrachoseps species is currently being described from the southern Sierra Nevada; several others from the southern Sierra have been identified but not described (Hansen pers.
		If San Gabriel Mountain slender salamander conforms to patterns exhibited by Tehachapi slender salamander (Batrachoseps stebbinsi), which resembles it and is also a talus dweller (Wake 1996), it forages in leaf litter and under bark and rotten logs for food.

		No luck so far, but then again these the Batrachoseps of this district might prefer different habitat, so I work my way up and down a few of the slick, muddy creek banks, rooting through the loose vegetation and pulling up the corners of thick green blankets of moss.
		The ground under the giant redwood and cedar trees is piled high and far with pieces of wood, bark, and logs, including several daunting obstacle courses of enormous tree trunks.
		Batrachoseps could be living under any of this jungle of debris.

	Slender Salamanders
		With primarily allopatric populations of Batrachoseps, it is not possible to use the primary test of the biological species concept (reproductive isolation from near relatives), so I can sympathize with researchers who have developed alternative theories.
		A new salamander, genus Batrachoseps, from the Inyo Mountains of California, with a discussion of relationships in the genus.
		The California Slender Salamander was 31 Mar 1978 in Garden Canyon, near Bolinas, Marin Co. The Gabilan Slender Salamander was 17 Feb 2002 near Aptos, Santa Cruz Co. The Santa Lucia Slender Salamanders were on 3 and 10 Feb 2002, in Garrapata State Park and Rip Van Winkle park, Pacific Grove (with eggs), respectively.

		The term "trade" is reffering to a polite and civilized service to the contributor and does not reflect a commercial adventure.
		Note also that > several Batrachoseps species in California are protected by the state and > one is protected by the federal government (and the Oregon slender > salamander, B. wrightii, is protected as well).
		At that time I was living in San Diego, and kept Batrachoseps for more then 1 year.

		Reproduction: Like other plethodontids, this is an egg-laying species in which lays eggs under logs, females wrap around and guard the clutch, and larvae undergo metamorphosis in the egg prior to hatching.
		Taxonomy and Relationships: The genus Batrachoseps is made of many cryptic species (species that are virtually impossible to tell apart anatomically).
		Much of the taxonomy has been based on analysis of skin proteins.

	Checklist of Amphibian Species and Identification Guide
		These three species of Slender Salamanders, genus Batrachoseps, are included in this account since the three were, until recently regarded as one species (Batrachoseps pacificus).
		Also, the Desert Slender Salamander has been considered a separate species (Batrachoseps aridus), but is regarded by some today to be a subspecies of the Garden Slender Salamander.
		The 14 species of Batrachoseps are difficult to distinguish and one should rely heavily on geographic location to narrow down the possibilities - some new species have been identified by differences in their DNA, something of little use in the field!

		Additional notes: Occurs primarily southward to Orange County and northwestern Riverside County where it can be sympatric with Batrachoseps pacificus.

		However I do believe now that I will not make any contacts using this NG.
		My scientific contacts are too busy with their own projects (whick doesnot include so "insignificant" genera like Batrachoseps) and their students are not that keen to help unless they see a "next day" benefit.
		I presume I'll shelve the project again for the next 9 years!!
