Identification of the Adult Hematopoietic Liver as the Primary Reservoir for the Recruitment of Pro-regenerative Macrophages Required for Salamander Limb Regeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The lack of scar-free healing and regeneration in many adult human tissues imposes severe limitations on the recovery of function after injury. In stark contrast, salamanders can functionally repair a range of clinically relevant tissues throughout adult

Vincenzo Colucci’s 1886 memoir, Intorno alla rigenerazione degli arti e della coda nei tritoni, annotated and translated into English as: Concerning regeneration of the limbs and tail in salamanders

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2021
Vincenzo Colucci taught and did research in several Italian veterinary schools during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Although he usually dealt with normal and pathological histology of domestic animals, he was also interested in regeneration.

Validation of an environmental DNA protocol to detect a stream‐breeding amphibian, the Streamside Salamander (Ambystoma barbouri)

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2020
Environmental DNA (eDNA), or DNA that is shed into the environment by an organism, can be used to detect the presence of cryptic species. However, eDNA methodology requires validation of an assay in both laboratory and field environments.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

In Vitro and in Vivo Immunomodulatory Activity of Giant Salamander Peptide-Selenium Chelates

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji
To investigate the immunomodulatory function of giant salamander peptide-selenium chelates, macrophage RAW 264.7 proliferation rate and cyclophosphamide-induced immunocompromised mouse model were used to evaluate the immunomodulatory activities of giant ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Invasive Asian Earthworms Negatively Impact Keystone Terrestrial Salamanders.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Asian pheretimoid earthworms (e.g. Amynthas and Metaphire spp.) are invading North American forests and consuming the vital detrital layer that forest floor biota [including the keystone species Plethodon cinereus (Eastern Red-backed Salamander)], rely ...
