eastern newt
notophthalmus viridescens latin

Eastern newts are at home in both coniferous and deciduous forests.

Eastern newts have some amount of toxins in their skin, which is brightly colored to act as a warning.

Eastern newts home using magnetic orientation.

In North America, the eastern newts (Notophthalmus spp.)

Eastern newts eat a variety of prey, such as insects, small molluscs and crustaceans, young amphibians, worms and frog eggs.

Wildlife on North Fork Mountain includes whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, and a variety of other bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species, including timber rattlesnakes and eastern newts.

Shoreward-bound eastern newts will orient themselves quite differently under light with wavelengths around 400 nm than light with wavelengths around 600 nm, while homing newts will orient themselves the same way under both short and long wavelengths.

Chinese warty newts, Chinese fire belly newts, eastern newts, paddletail newts, Emperor newts, Spanish ribbed newts (leucistic genes exist), Red-tailed knobby newts are some commonly seen newts in the pet trade.

In the newt species Notophthalmus viridescens, males carry out a courtship behavior called amplexus.

Notophthalmus viridescens.

The red eft, the brightly colored terrestrial juvenile form of the eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), is highly poisonous.

The eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is a common newt of eastern North America.

In the newt species Notophthalmus viridescens, the males rub off hormonal secretions onto the skin of the females they are courting.

Next, generation sequencing of considerable genomic fragments greater than 100 kilobases from the eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) was analyzed.

Eastern newt, Notophthalmus viridescens (Rafinesque, 1820)

Notophthalmus viridescens is a useful model in regenerative medicine, thanks to its ability to regenerate tissue, and this data gives insights into the mechanisms behind this process.

Cell suspensions obtained from dorsal irises of newts of the species Notophthalmus viridescens were grown under conditions of cell culture.

Feeding behavior of newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) was studied by comparing the responses of individual animals to visual, chemical, and tactile cues from mosquito larvae.

Detectable infections were not found in A. texanum, A. texanum × A. laterale hybrids, or Notophthalmus viridescens.

Following limb amputation in the newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), the animals were given daily intraperitoneal injections of 0.1 or 1.0 mg of either indomethacin or acetylsalicylic acid.

Eighth cranial nerve activity was recorded from supine and prostrate juvenile and adult Notophthalmus viridescens while vibrations were applied to either the dorsal or ventral surfaces.

It can also use amphibians as hosts, such as the larva of the northern two-lined salamander (Eurycea bislineata), and red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens).

The bovine thyrotropin preparation NIH-TSH-B8 can stimulate lens formation from cultured dorsal irises of the newt Notophthalmus viridescens.

The present study directly compares the response of amputated forelimbs in Xenopus laevis froglets with epimorphic regeneration of forelimbs in adult newts (Notophthalmus viridescens).

Notophthalmus viridescens and Ambystoma mexicanum had their tails amputated and then were treated with retinol palmitate by immersion in concentrations known to cause proximodistal duplications in regenerating limbs.

Eggs and tadpoles are preyed upon by larvae of Ambystoma salamanders and adults of the red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens (Walters 1975; Sredl and Collins 1991).

We have used high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to identify and characterize proteins that may represent products of genes involved in establishing positional information along the proximal–distal axis of the regenerating forelimb of the newt Notophthalmus viridescens.

Microphonic potentials were recorded from the inner ear of anesthetized adult and juvenile Notophthalmus viridescens, adult Plethodon cinereus, and larval Ambystoma maculatum lying prostrate in air on a horizontally vibrating platform.

The concentration of immunoreactive thyroxine was determined in blood serum samples from thyroidectomized adult newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) relative to levels found in samples of serum from intact and sham-thyroidectomized newts by means of radioimmunoassay.

The new study, published in the Nov. 2 issue of the journal Science, shows a protein called nAG helps to stimulate the proliferation of stem cells that ultimately form new limbs in red-spotted newts (Notophthalmus viridescens), a type of salamander.

Levels of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in adult newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) intact and 22- and 35-day regenerate forelimbs were studied, as were the levels in the contralateral intact forelimbs and hind limbs.

Adult and larvae red-spotted newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) live in water, but in most parts of their range after the young grow legs they loose their gills, leave the water and spend a year or more on land. At this stage, they are referred to as "efts" At maturity, they return to ponds to breed.
