Abstract
We constructed a map comparing the U.S. geographic range of the Coeur d'Alene salamander (Plethodon idahoensis) with climatic and geological variables. Lilac bloom dates were used to approximate 1,100-1,800 m upper altitudinal limits for the salamander. Plethodon idahoensis occupies temperate regions of the northern Rocky Mountains with at least 50 cm average annual precipitation, and appears to be geographically restricted by unconsolidated geological deposits. Our map identifies regions potentially inhabited by P. idahoensis, and may therefore be useful in future study and protection of this species
