[edit] Role of this species

This wpecies is a food source for a variety of frogs and snakes. Adult salamanders of this species help to control insect populations and juveniles control copepod populations. Every species is important, but endangered species are particularly important, since their DNA and enzymes may contain critical and uniques keys to combating disease. see article on endangered species for an example of this.

[edit] Assigned to wikiproject california

I have assigned this page to Wikiproject California and established an initial importance ranking as high based upon the fact that this is one of the endangered species of amphibian in the state. It also is in a range considered high in tourism and name recognition on a national scale. Anlace 16:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
