| a new species of eimeria (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from the marbled salamander, ambystoma opacum (caudata: ambystomatidae), from northern louisiana. | between december 2002 and june 2004, 10 marbled salamanders, ambystoma opacum, were examined for coccidian parasites. salamanders were collected in bradley (n = 2), little river (n = 1), miller (n = 1), and sevier (n = 1) counties, arkansas; webster parish, louisiana (n = 2); and bowie (n = 1) and nacogdoches (n = 2) counties, texas. two of 10 (20%) a. opacum from louisiana harbored an undescribed species of eimeria. oocysts of eimeria trauthi n. sp. were ellipsoidal, 36.6 x 33.1 (33-40 x 29-37) ... | 2008 | 18605797 |
| a new species of chloromyxum (myxozoa: chloromyxidae) from the gall bladder of eurycea spp. (caudata: plethodontidae) in north america. | a previously undescribed species of chloromyxum (myxozoa: chloromyxidae) was found in plasmodia adhering to the epithelium of the gall bladders in salamanders of the genus eurycea (caudata: plethodontidae) from arkansas and texas (usa) in november, december, and january, 1987 to 1994. bivalved spores of chloromyxum salamandrae sp. n. from eurycea multiplicata griseogaster (type host) were subspherical, with a mean size +/- sd of 8.3 +/- 0.3 x 7.7 +/- 0.4 (7.8 to 8.8 x 7.0 to 8.2) microns (n = 20 ... | 1995 | 8592363 |
| larval masquerade: a new species of paedomorphic salamander (caudata: plethodontidae: eurycea) from the ouachita mountains of north america. | species with truncated developmental patterns may go undetected if they resemble the juveniles of their close relatives. herein we present an example of this phenomenon with the description of a highly divergent, relict species of stream-dwelling plethodontid salamander from the ouachita mountains of north america. both mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data show that this new species is most closely related to its syntopic relative, eurycea multiplicata. interestingly, e. multiplicata exhibits ... | 2014 | 24869544 |
| speciation, phylogeography and evolution of life history and morphology in plethodontid salamanders of the eurycea multiplicata complex. | understanding the complex interactions among environment, genotype and ontogeny in determining organismal phenotypes is cental to many biological disciplines. the eurycea multiplicata complex, endemic to the interior highlands (ozark plateau and ouachita mountains) of eastern north america, comprises a diverse radiation of paedomorphic surface-dwelling (e. tynerensis), metamorphic surface-dwelling (e. multiplicata multiplicata and e. m. griseogaster) and metamorphic subterranean (typhlotriton sp ... | 2004 | 15078455 |
