Abstract

Southern Torrent Salamanders (Rhyacotriton variegatus) are a cold, headwater-inhabiting amphibian native to the Pacific Northwest. This genus of salamanders is considered highly aquatic, even in postmetamorphic stages, although instances of terrestrial movement have been observed. This note reports our opportunistic field observations for terrestrial movement in R. variegatus, which primarily occurred in the vicinity of Marys Peak, Benton County, Oregon.
