Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hm only
- Temperatures are guessed
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- found in the Great Smoky Mountains from Mt. Sterling to the mountains north of Bryson City, NC (Ref: amphibiaweb)
- The larval stage is passed within the egg capsule; reproduction is terrestrial (Ref: amphibiaweb)
