“…These tables often focus on either embryonic and larval development (Oyama, 1930;Glü ckson, 1931;Anderson, 1943;Harrison, 1969;Hara and Boterenbrood, 1977;Bordzilovskaya et al, 1989;Collazo and Marks, 1994;Nye et al, 2003;Wong and Liversage, 2005;Ringia and Lips, 2007) or metamorphosis (Wilder, 1925;Grant, 1930Grant, , 1931Norman, 1985;Watson and Russell, 2000). The developmental criteria of metamorphic tables often rely on features not found in direct-developing plethodontids, such as tail fin height (Norman, 1985) or the presence of balancers and larval pigment patterns (Glü ckson, 1931), which makes explicit comparisons with Plethodon cinereus impossible.…”

This work presents a refined staging table for the direct-developing red-backed salamander Plethodon cinereus, which is based on the incomplete staging system of James Norman Dent (J Morphol 1942; 71:577-601). This common species from eastern North America is a member of the species-rich lungless salamander family Plethodontidae. The staging table presented here covers several stages omitted by Dent and reveals novel developmental features of P. cinereus embryos. These include putative Leydig cells and open gill clefts, which are found in larvae of metamorphosing species but were previously reported as absent in direct-developing Plethodon. Other features found in larvae of metamorphosing salamander species, such as the palatopterygoid bone and lateral line neuromasts, were not observed in this material. The occurrence of larval and metamorphic features in these embryos has direct bearing on the patterns of life history evolution within the plethodontidae family. This study emphasizes the degree to which typically larval structures are retained in this direct-developing species and provides a staging table for further investigations into the development and evolution of plethodontid salamanders.

“…Eycleshymer (1895) and Harrison (in Rugh, 1941) developed staging tables for Ambystoma maculatum embryos from the egg until hatching, and Schreckenberg and Jacobson (1975) described the embryonic development of A. mexicanum. Hara and Boterenbrood(1977) later provided re nements of several stages of the well-used Harrison staging table. However, only a small number of staging tables are available that include the larval stages of urodeles: Triturus helveticus (Gallien and Bidaud, 1959), T. vulgaris and T. cristatus (Glücksohn, 1931), Pleurodeles waltl (Gallien and Durocher, 1957), and Hynobius nigrescens (Iwasawa and Yamashita, 1991).…”

A posthatching developmental staging table for the long-toed salamander, Ambystoma macrodactylum krausei

A posthatching developmental staging table for the larval phase of an ambystomatid salamander is provided for the first time. Stage boundaries are based upon limb development prior to the metamorphic transition and upon gill resorption during metamorphosis. Comparison to other published staging tables for salamanders of other families and anecdotal accounts of other ambystomatids is made, and similarities and differences are noted. These comparative data suggest that limb development may differ between species of Ambystoma in terms of the relative timing of hindlimb and forelimb morphogenesis.
