We examined the effects of tail autotomy on survivorship and body growth of both adult and juvenile Uta stansburiana by directly manipulating tail condition. Tail loss decreased neither survivorship nor rate of body growth for individuals in two natural populations. Lack of an influence of tail loss
## Abstract In animals with complex life cycles, the quality of juvenile environments is important in shaping the longerβterm fitness of individuals. Larval density is a major factor governing quality of larval environments in amphibians, with high densities leading to reduced growth rates, smaller
## Abstract The effects of porcine growth hormone (pGH) or ovine prolactin (oPRL) alone and in combination with triiodothyronine (T~3~) on renal PRL receptors were determined in both preβ and postβmetamorphic tiger salamanders __(Ambystoma tigrinum).__ The protein hormones were given at a dose of 1
