10.1 OVERVIEW OF COURTSHIP AND MATING BEHAVIOR
A comprehensive review of courtship behavior in salamanders was last presented by Salthe (1967). Many new behavioral observations have been made in the ensuing 35 years. Below, we summarize trends in courtship behavior within and among salamander families. We also consider the nature of major evolutionary transitions in courtship behavior.
