DOI: 10.1016/j.aaf.2020.03.003
Abstract: Abstract Captive propagation and translocation are becoming vital components of conservation and management strategies for Eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus a. alleganiensis) populations. Zoos, aquaria, universities, and state and federal agencies are concomitantly collaborating on the protection,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1638/2020-0146
Abstract: Abstract: In 2019, two wild-caught adult female eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) received a preshipment examination and were individually swabbed for chytrid testing via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Physical examination was unremarkable. Both females… read more here.

DOI: 10.1643/ce-18-027
Abstract: Organisms that experience large changes in body size during the life span often exhibit differences in resource use among life stages. Ontogenetic shifts in habitat use reduce intraspecific competition and predation and are common in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1655/0018-0831-76.4.355
Abstract: Abstract Recently, artificial shelters have been proposed as a novel tool to monitor Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) and other cryptobranchid salamanders. Factors that influence artificial shelter use by Hellbenders have not been identified, but are important… read more here.

DOI: 10.1655/herpetologica-d-17-00044.1
Abstract: Abstract With amphibian declines at crisis levels, translocations, including population augmentations, are commonly used for amphibian conservation. Eastern Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) have declined to low densities in many areas of their range, making them… read more here.

DOI: 10.3354/esr01014
Abstract: Hellbenders Cryptobranchus alleganiensis are critically imperiled amphibians throughout the eastern USA. Rock-lifting is widely used to monitor hellbenders but can severely disturb habitat. We asked whether artificial shelter occupancy (the proportion of occupied shelters in… read more here.
