Field surveys of the salamander were conducted from 2007-2022 using daytime cover object surveys. In order to capture the totality of  P. shendandoah\u2019s range we sampled from low to high elevation across a broad geographic range.  We created a spatial generalized additive model with aspect, latitude, longitude, and elevation and heat load index (HLI) to predict salamander occupancy and create a new range map based on our extended surveys. All spatial covariates were extracted from a 15m digital elevation model layer of Shenandoah National Park. Temperature and precipitaiton data were extracted at sampling locations from PRISM Climate Group datasets.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13OVUIC", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.65f9b978d34e25017b28c545.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_65f9b978d34e25017b28c545", "keyword": ["USGS:65f9b978d34e25017b28c545", "amphibian", "range map", "salamander"], "modified": "2024-03-26T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-78.4335, 38.5232, -78.2977, 38.6657", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "An updated range map for Plethodon shenandoah"}
