In the Appalachian forests, under rocks and rotting logs and in rock crevices 
you will find the various species of the lungless salamanders, the most 
abundant vertebrates in eastern North America. Molecular techniques are 
revealing new species and complex patterns of genetic differentiation in these 
animals, and are enhancing our appreciation of the southern Appalachians as a 
center of biodiversity. Tilley is a professor of biology at Smith College in 
Northampton, Massachusetts, and one of the leading experts on salamanders in 
the world. He is frequently a summer faculty member at the Highlands Biological 
Station in western North Carolina. You will truly enjoy this talk and your eyes 
will be opened to the dramatic salamanders that inhabit the southern 
Appalachians.  Don't miss this talk for any reason !
