Limited population and community effects of hatching asynchrony in a pond‐breeding salamander by Thomas L. Anderson, Jacob J. Burkhart, Jacob A. Cianci‐Gaskill, Jon M. Davenport

“…To better understand the effects of phenological variability on both populations and communities, we examined how variation in egg hatching synchrony of predatory marbled salamanders (Ambystoma opacum) impacted intraspecific interactions at the larval stage, ultimately affecting demographic traits and survival through metamorphosis. …”

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Modulates Vomeronasal Neuron Response to Male Salamander Pheromone by Celeste R. Wirsig-Wiechmann, Justin Colvard, Christopher E. Aston, Radhika Dighe, Lynne D. Houck, Pamela W. Feldhoff, Richard C. Feldhoff

“…Whole male pheromone extract containing 3 millimolar agmatine with or without 10 micromolar GnRH was applied to the nasolabial groove of female salamanders for 45 minutes. Immunocytochemical procedures were conducted to visualize and quantify relative agmatine uptake as measured by labeling density of activated vomeronasal neurons. …”

Temporal response of the tiger salamander (<it>Ambystoma tigrinum</it>) to 3,000 years of climatic variation by Long Webb, Bruzgul Judsen E, Hadly Elizabeth A

“…We analyzed a late-Holocene fossil record of the Tiger Salamander (<it>Ambystoma tigrinum</it>) for evidence of population-level changes in body size and paedomorphosis to climatic change over the last 3000 years.…”

A modified trap design for sampling subterranean habitats for central Texas Eurycea salamanders by Ryan M. Jones, Zachary C. Adcock, Andrew R. MacLaren, Kemble White IV

“…In this paper, we describe modifications to a sampling technique for surface, stream-dwelling salamanders for use in subterranean settings. Leaf litter bags are an effective and commonly used trap for salamanders, and their construction purposefully allows animals to move freely in and out of the trap. …”

Reintroduction modifies the intraspecific variations of symbiotic microbes in captive bred Chinese giant salamander by Jianyi Feng, Jianyi Feng, Wei Zhu, Jianping Jiang, Jianping Jiang, Chunlin Zhao, Zijian Sun, Wansheng Jiang, Qinghua Luo, Tian Zhao

“…However, we still need more studies to quantify whether the intraspecific variation patterns of symbiotic microbes can be modified with the change of environment. The Chinese giant salamander (CGS; Andrias davidianus) is a Critically Endangered species. …”

Novel Expansion of Matrix Metalloproteases in the Laboratory Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and Other Salamander Species by Nour Al Haj Baddar, Nataliya Timoshevskaya, Jeramiah J. Smith, Houfu Guo, S. Randal Voss, S. Randal Voss

“…Here we report the results of a comprehensive survey of MMPs in the laboratory axolotl and other representative salamanders. Surprisingly, 28 MMPs were identified in salamanders and 9 MMP paralogs were identified as unique to the axolotl and other salamander taxa, with several of these presenting atypical amino acid insertions not observed in other tetrapod vertebrates. …”
