the presence black bellied salamander predators (visually or detected by scent), the use of rocks for cover was not utilized by adults (Sever 1920). Prey Items Adult Blue Ridge two-lined salamander primary diet consists of terrestrial organisms such as non insect arthropods, worms, and marine invertebrates. The larvae will feed primarily on aquatic macroinvertebrates and some terrestrial insects (Johnson and Wallace 2005). Behavior To avoid competition and predation, stream salamanders such as the Blue Ridge two-lined salamander will segregate spacelly within terrestrial habitats. In a study on, Trade-off between Desiccation and Predation Risk, the Blue Ridge Two-lined occurred between 15- 20 m from the stream edge risking desiccation because the environment is less suitable due to drier environmental conditions rather than posible predation (Crawford 2016). Most of the competition is based on their size.
