Well, is it a coincidence that desmognathines occur in an area where plethodontid diversity is extremely high (with up to 11 direct-developing species occurring sympatrically), where non-desmognathine plethodontids dominate all ecosystems available to salamanders except for stream habitats, and in an area where direct-developing plethodontids are (get this) THE most important vertebrates in terms of biomass (Burton & Likens 1975)?.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2006-06-01] Reference
