Orientation and navigation in the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa

Creator:

Darrow, Thomas D.

Abstract:

In the field of herpetology, most studies of homing have been carried out with anurans and, to a lesser degree, reptiles. Studies of orientation and navigation in urodeles have been limited to a few brief notes and the extensive investigation of Taricha rivularis by Twitty (1959 and 1964). The rough-skinned...

Investigation of the circadian rhythm of locomotion in the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa

Creator:

Briggs, Jeffrey Lawrence

Abstract:

Over 56,000 hours of locomotor activity of Taricha granulosa were recorded using two types of low cylindrical plastic monitoring chambers. This species shows distinct rhythms of activity under normal day-night cycles, shortened day-night cycles, constant darkness (DD) and constant light (LL). The rough-skinned newt is day active and crepuscular. I...

An investigation was undertaken to determine if respiratory changes might occur in conjunction with migrations of the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa (Skilton) in and out of ponds in the Willamette Valley. A field study was carried on from December 1964 through October 1965 to investigate certain physical and chemical parameters...
