	Asiatic salamander - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Asiatic Salamanders (Family Hynobiidae) are rather primitive salamanders spread all over Asia.
		They are closely related with the Giant Salamanders (Family Cryptobranchidae), with which they form the suborder Cryptobranchoidea.
		And unlike other salamander families which reproduce internally, male hynobiids focus on egg sacs rather than females during breeding (Hasumi, 2002).

		This is one of the oldest known fossil representation of salamanders.
		Fire salamanders are often regarded as typical salamanders, in that they are of average size (around 8 inches long) and proportion, colorful, toxic, and possess four normal limbs, and a tail.
		The true salamanders portray limited sexual dimorphism, usually in the form of swollen cloaca (in males), and laterally compressed tail on those that reproduce in the water.

		Salamanders, the tailed amphibians, are among the most abundant vertebrates in many habitats in the Southeast.
		Many salamanders, such as the spotted salamander, exhibit biphasic life cycles (typical of amphibians in general) with metamorphosis separating the larval ("tadpole") and adult stages.
		The greatest concentration of salamanders in the Southeast are found in the Appalachian Mountains which is comsidered a worldwide hotspot of salamander diversity.

		The Palaeozoic Ancestry of Salamanders, Frogs and Caecilians
		Making use of the numerous derived characters that are expressed in either the larvae or adults of extant salamanders, frogs, and caecilians provides the basis for recognizing a nested sequence of synapomorphies that support a common ancestry of salamanders and anurans with temnospondyl labyrinthodonts to the exclusion of caecilians.
		Recognition of a sister-group relationship between Permo-Carboniferous branchiosaurids and crown-group salamanders makes it possible to determine the sequence of changes in the anatomy and ways of life that occurred during the origin of urodeles, and to determine their time of divergence relative to that of frogs and caecilians.

	Salamander
		Salamander is the common name applied to approximately 500 amphibian vertebrates with slender bodies, short legs, and long tails (order Caudata or Urodela).
		In Japan and China the giant salamander is found, which reaches 5 feet (1.5m) and weighs up to 30 kilograms [1] [2].
		(Similarly, the salamander in heraldry is shown in flames, but is otherwise depicted as a generic lizard.) Early travelers to China were shown garments which, or so they were told, had been woven of wool from the salamander: the cloth was completely unharmed by fire.

	Where Do Salamanders Come From? Part 1
		Studies of genera composition and distribution shows that nearly all genera of Asiatic salamanders are monotypic (single species) and their ranges are highly discontinuous (limited ranges that are separated by great distances).
		Discontinuous ranges among the Asiatic amphibians is a result of harmful effects of the "ice ages".
		Asiatic salamanders currently belong to the family Hynobiidae and along with the Cryptobranchidae, are the most primitive of recent salamanders and newts.

		The largest caudate group is the lungless salamanders, family Plethodontidae, which comprises more than half of all known caudate species.
		Some living caecilians, order Gymnophiona, also possess tails, but differ from salamanders in that caecilian tails are generally indistinguishable from the body, and are highly reduced compared to caudates.
		Many Plethodontid salamanders deposit eggs on land, which pass the aquatic larval stage within the egg casing, before emerging as fully formed miniature adults.

		First introduced into the Potomac River in the mid-1970s, the Asiatic clam has expanded its range into 13 of the 17 river basins in Maryland according to the results of the 1995-1997 MBSS.
		Statewide, the Asiatic clams was found at 7.7% (70) of the sites sampled, ranging from 0.7% of first-order streams to 5.1% of second-order to 18% of third-order.
		The density (and relative proportion) of non-native fish was greatest in the Nanticoke/Wicomico basin (1,225 non-native fish per mile, 24% of the total number of fish per mile) and lowest in the North Branch Potomac basin (32 non-native fish per mile, 1.2% of the total).
