Summary

Data contain metabolic rates of red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) exposed to different thermal regimes, and the movements of salamanders marked with PIT tags and exposed to electromagnetic fields.

Purpose

Methods used to predict species responses to climate change have limited capacity to account for adaptive potential in forecasts of range shifts and population extinction risks. Species responses will be affected by the ability of animals to adapt behaviorally and the degree to which populations are locally adapted to climate differences within their range. This dataset focuses on the red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and includes the results of experiments testing the species' adaptive capacity and methods for monitoring behavioral plasticity.
