...Tom McKean; Guolian Li; Kong Wei SUMMARY The aquatic form of the tiger salamander Ambystoma tigrinum lives in high-altitude ponds and is exposed to a hypoxic environment that may be either chronic or intermittent. In many animal species, exposure to hypoxia stimulates cardiac output and is followed...

... function primarily to bend the body during locomotion, not to resist torsional forces. To determine whether the results from D. ensatus hold for another salamander, we recorded lateral hypaxial muscle EMGs synchronized with body and limb kinematics in the tiger salamander Ambystoma tigrinum . In agreement...

Adults showed the typical compensatory pattern, shared by larvae and many other amphibians, of partial compensation (44%) for the induced...
