Macroevolution of arboreality in salamanders by Erica K. Baken, Dean C. Adams

“…In this study, we use phylogenetic comparative methods to investigate the evolutionary outcomes of inhabiting the arboreal microhabitat in salamanders. We find that arboreality has independently evolved at least five times in Caudata and has arisen primarily from terrestrial ancestors. …”

The evolution of parental care in salamanders by Balázs Vági, Daniel Marsh, Gergely Katona, Zsolt Végvári, Robert P. Freckleton, András Liker, Tamás Székely

“…Using 181 species that represent all major lineages of an early vertebrate group, the salamanders and newts (Caudata, salamanders henceforth) here we show that fertilisation mode is tied to parental care: male-only care occurs in external fertilisers, whereas female-only care exclusively occurs in internal fertilisers. …”

Salamander Insights Into Ageing and Rejuvenation by Maximina H. Yun, Maximina H. Yun

“…Exhibiting extreme regenerative abilities which extend to complex organs and entire limbs, salamanders have long served as research models for understanding the basis of vertebrate regeneration. …”

Evolutionary Insights into the Relationship of Frogs, Salamanders, and Caecilians and Their Adaptive Traits, with an Emphasis on Salamander Regeneration and Longevity by Bin Lu

“…I compared the genes of amphibians to those of other vertebrates to investigate the genetic changes underlying their unique traits, especially salamanders’ regeneration and longevity. Using the well-supported Batrachia tree, I found that salamander genomes have undergone accelerated adaptive evolution, especially for development-related genes. …”

Chloride equilibrium potential in salamander cones by Bryson Eric J, Thoreson Wallace B

“…To assess the impact of these and other chloride-dependent mechanisms on release from cones, the chloride equilibrium potential (E_Cl) was determined in red-sensitive, large single cones from the tiger salamander retinal slice.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Whole cell recordings were done using gramicidin perforated patch techniques to maintain endogenous Cl^-levels. …”

Effects of red-backed salamanders on ecosystem functions. by Daniel J Hocking, Kimberly J Babbitt

“…We examined the effects of red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) on a variety of forest ecosystem functions using a combined approach of large-scale salamander removals (314-m(2) plots) and small-scale enclosures (2 m(2)) where we explicitly manipulated salamander density (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 m(-2)). …”
