“…The species is easily observed around spring outlets, but is rarely seen in abundance of more than a dozen individuals at most sites (with the exception of two spring outlets). Threats to E. sosorum are exacerbated by its small range and include vulnerability to catastrophic spills over the karst aquifer, declining water quality from development, anthropogenically modified habitat, and declines in water quantity from pumping and climate change (Chippindale & Price, ; Chippindale et al., ; Stamm et al., ; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service , ).…”

“…Within the Edwards Plateau of central Texas, thirteen salamander species (genus Eurycea , clade Paedomolge , sensu Hillis, Chamberlain, Wilcox, & Chippindale, ) inhabit a range of karst‐associated aquatic habitats, from hillside seeps to large springs and expansive stream networks both above and below ground (Chippindale, Price, Wiens, & Hillis, ; Sweet, ; Sweet, ). Seven species in this group are federally listed as threatened or endangered, and have small distributions within and around urbanized and rapidly developing areas (Chippindale & Price, ; US Fish and Wildlife Service , ). However, detailed information on reproductive phenology, population demographics, and life history for this group is limited (but see Bruce, ; Tupa & Davis, ; Pierce, McEntire, & Wall, ).…”

“…Karst fauna exemplify species that are both cryptic (in the evolutionary and ecological sense) and rare, and are often of conservation concern due to their high rates of endemicity and sensitivity to environmental perturbations ( Culver et al, 2000 ). Among the many dozens of endemic karst fauna inhabiting the Edwards Plateau of central Texas ( Reddell, 1994 ) is a unique group of aquatic salamanders (genus Eurycea ), several of which have been at the center of highly publicized, political conflicts over development and the Endangered Species Act ( Krausse, 1989 ; Haurwitz, 1993 ; Haurwitz, 1995 ; Chippindale & Price, 2005 ; Wermund, 2012 ). Many are federally listed with or without designated critical habitat ( E. tonkawae , E. nana , E. waterlooensis, E. sosorum , E. rathbuni ), are candidates for listing ( E. latitans , E. neotenes , E. sp.…”
