Renal excretion of urea was assessed in adult and larval Ambystoma tigrinurn by comparing simultaneous clearances of urea and inulin. The mean adult urea clearance ratio (Cu/C,,) was 0.70 2 0.08 indicating net urea absorption. Larvae yielded a mean CV/CI, of 0.92 2 0.04. Individual larvae were quite

## Abstract The enzyme, xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), has been examined in __Ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum__ with respect to its role in pigmentation. It now seems probable that the melanoid gene (__m__) either codes directly for XDH or is somehow intimately connected with the normal function of thi
## Abstract Blood glucose in __Ambystoma tigrinum__ is regulated at a lower level in larval (18.4 Β± 0.7 mg%) than in adult (27.8 Β± 0.8 mg%) animals. The difference is observed at all seasons, and is not related to differences in size, diet or sexual maturity. A difference in the blood glucose regul
## Abstract Groups of adult tiger salamanders were treated with either prolactin or saline and were maintained between behavioral observation on either a moist pea gravel substrate or in water. During 60βminute observation periods, all animals in a group were placed together in moistureβgradient ap
## Abstract In the tiger salamnder the distribution of optic fibers, as revealed by the FinkβHeimer method, is compared with the localization of acetylcholinesterase, as revealed by histochemical methods. AChE activity coincides with optic nerve axons in the optic fiber layer of the retina, in the
