- Abstract
The article focuses on Ambystoma Opacum which exhibits the nesting strategy of laying their eggs terrestrially under cover. It mentions that females usually create nests by excavating shallow depressions in the soil beneath various cover objects such as logs, rocks, leaves, moss. It states that the vernal pools flooded prematurely (i.e., prior to nesting), which severely limited the number of suitable nesting sites since A. opacum are poor swimmers and exclusively nest terrestrially.
