Amphibians: A Conservation Moment
Amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts) are wonderful animals -- you can sit back and enjoy listening to their varied calls. In many places you can hear a symphony of frog voices around a pond during a warm spring evening. Because of their relatively harmless nature, they make exciting educational tools for children.

Tail, Limb and Skin Autotomy
Autotomy (auto = self, tomos = cut) is the self-induced releasing of a specific body part. In certain lizards, it is the tail that autotomizes; in plethodontid salamanders (terrestrial salamanders lacking gills and lungs in the adult form), it is their tails, digits, and portions of their limbs. Lizards do not autotomize their digits or limbs. If your lizard's toes have are falling off, this is a serious medical problem that requires veterinary attention now. In a few lizards, it is pieces of skin that autotomize, a defense strategy known as "fragile skin." [eng] |

Amphibian Pain and Analgesia
Analgesics are often not provided to amphibians because the presence and severity of pain may not be recognized in these animals. In addition, there is little information on the mechanism of action of analgesic agents in amphibians. However, amphibians possess appropriate neurologic components for transmitting pain from peripheral receptors to the central nervous system and antinociceptive mechanisms to modulate pain. They are capable of displaying behavioral and physiologic modification of pain systems in response to analgesic pharmacologic agents. [eng] |

Amphibian Declines
Amphibians are checking out all over the planet. Many countries have noticed sudden and massive declines of local frogs, in recent years. Considering that amphibians have been around since before the time of the dinosaurs, we should be concerned that they are starting to disappear now. The following is important reading for anyone who wants to understand why our much loved frogs are disappearing before our very eyes. [eng] |
