The Salado Springs salamander (Eurycea chisholmensis) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the vicinity of Salado, Texas. [1] [2] Its natural habitat is freshwater springs. It has been found only from a few springs that feed Salado Creek in Bell County, Texas.
The pathogen, unidentified up to then, had devastated fire salamander populations in the Netherlands. Molecular phylogenetics confirmed it as related to the well known chytrid B. dendrobatidis . Like this species, it causes chytridiomycosis , which is manifested in skin lesions and is lethal for the salamanders. [ 1 ]
The three-lined salamander (Eurycea guttolineata) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to the south-eastern United States. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This species was classified as a sub-species of long tailed salamanders until DNA sequencing revealed that there was no hybridization between the two species. [ 3 ]
The NBA on Tuesday unveiled a new format for the 2025 All-Star Game scheduled for Feb. 16 in San Francisco. To generate a more competitive game, this season’s All-Star Game will feature a mini ...
Sirens are generally eel-like in form, with two tiny, but otherwise fully developed, fore limbs. They range from 25–95 cm (9.8–37.4 in) in length. [ 1 ] They are neotenic , although the larval gills are small and functionless at first, and only adults have fully developed (but inefficient) gills.
Ex-NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton says the city needs more cops to crack down on subway mayhem and other crime, noting there were thousands more officers when he was first in charge in the 1990s.
The claim originated in a medical journal article by British researcher Andrew Wakefield that was later retracted and called an “elaborate fraud” based on falsified data and children whose ...
B. dendrobatidis has occasionally been found in forms distinct from its traditional zoospore and sporangia stages. For example, before the 2003 European heat wave that decimated populations of the water frog Rana lessonae through chytridiomycosis, the fungus existed on the amphibians as spherical, unicellular organisms, confined to minute ...
