The Amphibian Species of the World database has two searching tools, a BROWSE table (on the right) and a SEARCH table (on the left top). In addition, all underlined author names, dates, and publications may be "clicked through" to see other records citing this author, date, or publication. [Information of the supplier]
Computers can't teach everything in anatomy, but they can teach some things better, either by themselves or through synergy with conventional methods. Try out this award-winning virtual frog- as a case in point. [Information of the supplier]
Raising wood frogs, from eggs to froglets, is a practical and rewarding classroom project. Eggs are readily available in the spring and with proper care, froglets are ready for release back into the wild by mid-June. With a minimum of materials and time, students can experience one of nature's most spectacular transformations. ... [Information of the supplier]
This tutorial has been developed to aid the study of morphogenetic events during early amphibian development. It is NOT intended to replace the effort of reading the text or wrestling with this material in class. It is intended as a supplement to in-class instruction and textbook resources.

Die vom College of Natural Sciences der University of Texas und vom Texas Memorial Museum geförderte Webseite stellt eine Online-Ressource zu in Texas lebenden Amphibien und Reptilien dar. Zur Verfügung stehen detaillierte Beschreibungen und Bilder der verschiedenen Tierarten. [Redaktion vifabio]
This website will serve as a gateway for information regarding African amphibian species, where participants will write and edit species pages, upload images, and maintain bibliographic resources. The goal of this project is to develop an authoritative, community-driven resource for information on African amphibians. We expect this to be a key resource for both the public and experts in the field, including those who may not have access to original descriptions, taxonomic changes, and updates of species distributions from scientific journals. In addition to serving as a stand-alone resource, this LifeDesk will feed content directly into the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) and AmphibiaWeb. ... [Information of the supplier]
This Lifedesk serves the purpose of introducing salamanders that are endemic to or have their distributions in People's Republic of China. The content will be useful for professional researchers as well as amateurish hobbyists, because we just love salamanders! The Chinese have recognized salamanders for more than 2500 years. Those animals were depicted as fishes without scales but having four legs. Shan Hai Jing mentioned that the giant salamanders live in rivers and montane streams and cry like a child. At this time there are three families, 14 genera and 58 species of Chinese salamanders. Cryptobranchidae, the giant salamanders, hold the record of the biggest extant amphibian with specimens reaching over 2 meters. They mainly distribute in the drainage areas of the Yangtze River, Yellow River and Pearl River. Hynobiidae, also called Asiatic salamanders, are the old world counterpart of the lungless salamanders from America. They occur in most provinces of China. Hynobiidae forms the sister clade to Cryptobranchidae and both families are at the basal position of the tree of life of living salamanders. The third family is Salamandridae, a more derived group that is found common in southern China. Many Chinese species in this family are popular as pets, such as the crocodile newts (Tylototriton), warty newts (Paramesotriton), stout or paddle-tailed newts (Pachytriton) and fire-bellied newts (Cynops). This website will provide detailed information on taxonomy, morphology, geographic distribution and life history of Chinese salamanders along with high-quality images. All content on the Taxon Page is shared with Salamanders of the Old World (http://science.naturalis.nl/salamanders) and will eventually also be shared with the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) and AmphibiaWeb. If you are interested in sharing images of Chinese salamanders or find something incorrect or unclear, please leave your comments, or join us by creating a New Account or emailing the administrator/owner, Yunke Wu (yunkewu@fas.harvard.edu). ...

The newt Notopthalmus viridescens is the master of regeneration. This organism is known for more than 200 years for its exceptional regenerative capabilities. Newts can completely replace lost appendages like limb and tail, lens and retina and parts of the central nervous system. Moreover, after cardiac injury newts can rebuild the functional myocardium with no scar formation. To date only very limited information from public databases is available. Newt-Omics aims to provide a comprehensive platform of expressed genes during tissue regeneration, including extensive annotations, expression data and experimentally verified peptide sequences with yet no homology to other publically available gene sequences. The goal is to obtain a detailed understanding of the molecular processes underlying tissue regeneration in the newt,that may lead to the development of approaches, efficiently stimulating regenerative pathways in mammalians. ...

Welcome to the Rhode Island Vernal Pool Website! This website includes information on the characteristics of vernal pools, how to identify vernal pools, and the species associated with vernal pools. A large portion of the site is dedicated specifically to pond-breeding amphibians of Rhode Island. We have included detailed life history accounts on the most common species, including information on amphibian movement patterns not readily available from other sources. In addition, we provide information on the current efforts to protect vernal pool habitat, including current state regulations from the region. We hope this information will be useful to regulators interested in protecting vernal ponds and amphibians of southern New England, consultants and land planners interested in factors affecting amphibian populations dynamics, and students interested in the ecology of vernal ponds, frogs and salamanders. ...

Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians, and those who study them are referred to as herpetologists. The Australian Society of Herpetologists Incorporated is a professional body for practising herpetologists. Use this website to find out about ASH, who is involved and what events are coming up. The objectives of the Society are: to promote the scientific study of amphibians and reptiles; to provide opportunities for discussion and dissemination of information among its members by appropriate means, including meetings and publications; and to take an active interest in the conservation of amphibians and reptiles. ...
