Simple Summary Amphibians are especially sensitive to temperature due to their lack of
thermal regulation. Aquatic temperatures influence growth and development during the …

Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) are aquatic salamanders that are widely used in
research. Axolotls have been bred in laboratories for nearly 150years, yet little is known …

Amphibians that breed in early spring may encounter considerable variation in ambient
temperature. In this study, I investigated how the metabolic rate of male and female Small …

Global climate change leading to increased temperatures may affect shifts in physiological
processes especially in ectothermic organisms. Temperature-dependent shifts in …

The thermal biology of obligatory aquatic salamanders (eg, Amphiumidae) is largely
unknown. We therefore investigated thermal selection and temperature preference in the …

There is growing concern that climate change will have significant impacts on environmental
quality and natural resources including amphibians. Among some data available on the …

Several populations and life history stages of the tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum,
from elevations above 2890 m were studied in the field and laboratory. All groups selected …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses procedure and observation of laboratory
experiment of behavioral thermoregulation in amphibian larvae. Amphibians are …

The goal of this study was to identify the endocrine and ecological factors associated with
the evolution of terrestrial breeding in amphibians. I focused on the redbacked salamander …

Six species and subspecies of Ambystoma were tested for embryonic temperature tolerance
and rate of development. The eggs of these salamanders are less tolerant of high …
