| an integrative approach to phylogeography: investigating the effects of ancient seaways, climate, and historical geology on multi-locus phylogeographic boundaries of the arboreal salamander (aneides lugubris). | phylogeography is an important tool that can be used to reveal cryptic biodiversity and to better understand the processes that promote lineage diversification. we studied the phylogeographic history of the arboreal salamander (aneides lugubris), a wide-ranging species endemic to the california floristic province. we used multi-locus data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of a. lugubris and to discover the geographic location of major genetic breaks within the species. we also used species ... | 2015 | 26537350 |
| composition and structure of helminth communities of the salamanders, aneides lugubris, batrachoseps nigriventris, ensatina eschscholtzii (plethodontidae), and taricha torosa (salamandridae) from california. | component helminth communities of aneides lugubris (n=31), batrachoseps nigriventris (n=63), ensatina eschscholtzii (n=30), and taricha torosa (n=68) from california were determined. the compound helminth community consisted of 1 species of cestode, bitegmen gerrhonoti and 6 species of nematodes, batracholandros salamandrae, cosmocercoides variabilis, falcaustra pretiosa, megalobatrachonema gigantica, oswaldocruzia pipiens, and rhabdias joaquinensis. the least diverse infracommunities were assoc ... | 1998 | 9576495 |
