- Abstract
The article examines the contact zone between Plethodon websteri and P. ventralis at Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge, confirming that the two species are sympatric on the west side of the river, contrary to previous assumptions of separation. Topics discussed include the genetic confirmation of species identification, the absence of significant character displacement, and the distinctive dorsal and ventral pigmentation patterns of each species.
