ALGONQUIN DEFINING MOMENTS

Episode 50: PT2 - Salamander Research Update with Patrick Moldowan.

This is the second of two episodes where I sat down with Patrick Moldowan from the University of Toronto’s School of the Environment and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Board Chair of the Wildlife Research Station to share his recent research insights into the world of the Spotted Salamander. Amphibian research has occurred periodically in Algonquin Park working from the Wildlife Research Station since the mid-1980s and in 2008, Glenn Tattersall from Brock University initiated a continuous study of the salamander population. It appears that they are now key indicators (canaries in the coal mine) of the potential impacts of climate change on the Algonquin landscape.
