Impact of chaparral wildfire-induced sedimentation on oviposition of stream-breeding California newts (Taricha torosa)
We examined the effects of chaparral wildfire on stream-breeding California newts (Taricha torosa) in a 750-m stretch of a perennial Santa Monica Mountain stream (Los Angeles County). Detailed field surveys of 1...
