| insights into the mating habits of the tiger salamander (ambystoma tigrinum tigrinum) as revealed by genetic parentage analyses. | among urodeles, ambystomatid salamanders are particularly amenable to genetic parentage analyses because they are explosive aggregate breeders that typically have large progeny arrays. such analyses can lead to direct inferences about otherwise cryptic aspects of salamander natural history, including the rate of multiple mating, individual reproductive success, and the spatial distribution of clutches. in 2002, we collected eastern tiger salamander (ambystoma tigrinum tigrinum) egg masses (> 100 ... | 2006 | 16689907 |
