The role of thermal niche selection in maintenance of a colour polymorphism in redback salamanders (Plethodon cinereus)

BACKGROUND: In eastern North America two common colour morphs exist in most populations of redback salamanders (Plethodon cinereus). Previous studies have indicated that the different morphs may be adapted to different thermal niches and the morphological variation has been linked to standard metabo...
