Amphibiaweb, located in Berkeley, CA, is a comprehensive online resource dedicated to providing information on amphibians. They offer species accounts, photos, calls, and videos, as well as information on conservation, habitat, climate change, and more. With a focus on education and conservation, Amphibiaweb aims to raise awareness about the global decline of amphibians and the importance of their preservation.
One of the species featured on Amphibiaweb is the Aneides flavipunctatus, also known as the Black Salamander or Speckled Black Salamander. This species is found in western lowland forests and meadows in northern California and extreme southern Oregon. While once considered common, black salamanders have become rare in recent years due to habitat destruction caused by the proliferation of vineyards in northern California.
