Balancing development and sustainability: Assessing risks and protecting aquatic biodiversity on US college and university campuses by Mikaela P. Sako, Ryan A. McManamay

“…The highest risk campus our study identified was selected to compare the impacts of planned, conventional development versus sustainable development on a sensitive aquatic species, the federally threatened Jollyville Plateau salamander (Eurycea tonkawae). Impervious cover, simulated increases in stormwater runoff, and total suspended solids (TSS) from the conventional expansion is estimated to lower salamander density. …”

The regenerative plasticity of isolated urodele myofibers and its dependence on MSX1. by Anoop Kumar, Cristiana P Velloso, Yutaka Imokawa, Jeremy P Brockes

“…The homeobox gene Msx1 has been studied as an antagonist of muscle differentiation, and its expression in cultured mouse myotubes induces about 5% of the cells to undergo cellularisation and viable fragmentation, but its relevance for the endogenous programme of salamander regeneration is unknown. We dissociated muscle fibers from the limb of larval salamanders and plated them in culture. …”
