摘要: Abstract Visible marks can aid in population studies but, depending on the type of mark used, may result poor retention and increased mortality. implant elastomer (VIE) was evaluated as a marking technique for two species listed endangered or threatened under federal Endangered Species Act: The fountain darter Etheostoma fonticola San Marcos salamander Eurycea nana. We compared VIE with acrylic latex paint (ALP) found that exhibited greater than ALP (88% versus 23% at 244 d). Fountain survival growth were not affected by type. In salamander, use did affect growth. For both species, placement (dorsally ventrally) retention. would be preferred method these species.
