GBIFID: 5133530320; Occurrence Remarks: An individual of P. shermani from the Unicoi Mountains population, with the gray legs and white flank speckling typical of this population. From a site with several historical specimens. My understanding of the genetics of this population is that, following Weisrock et al. 2005 �Phylogeographic analysis of mitochondrial gene flow and introgression in the salamander, Plethodon shermani�, this population had some hybridization with the P. glutinosus group (P. teyahalee and/or P. aureolus) in its evolutionary history, which resulted in mitochondrial introgression and may be responsible for the different phenotype in this population, but that this hybridization occurred in ancestral populations and was limited in magnitude, resulting in the population remaining a �good� discrete P. shermani population.
