	Lungless salamander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lungless salamanders (Family Plethodontidae) are salamanders which do not have lungs and instead conduct respiration through their skin and the tissues lining their mouth.
		Currently approximately 377 species of plethodontid salamanders are known, making up the majority of known species (Min et al., 2005).
		Only two of these species are found outside the Western hemisphere, seven in the Mediterreanian and one in Korea.

	New salamander korea
		The discovery of a lungless salamander from the family Plethodontidae was made two years ago by Stephen J. Karsen, a biologist from Illinois who teaches in the Taejon Christian International School in Chungcheongnam-do province midway down the western edge of the Korean peninsula.
		To date, the salamander has been found in 16 locations in three Korean provinces, and Wake and his colleagues have established that it differs significantly from all other lungless salamanders, which make up 70 percent of the known 535 salamander species in the world.
		The Korean crevice salamander is the only lungless salamander between Italy and British Columbia, Wake said, and it split off from the aquatic salamanders common in Korea at least 175 million years ago.

		Normal, healthy spotted salamanders, found from southern Canada throughout the southeastern United States, have spots that are similar in size, and that match up one for one on the left and right sides of their backs.
		Biologist Kelly Zamudio says changes in salamander spots may act as a warning sign that something in the environment is disrupting them during their development.

	Alum makes major zoological discovery
		A secretive little salamander -- discovered recently in Korea -- appears to fill in a massive gap in one of the animal world's evolutionary puzzles, says herpetologist Ronald A. Brandon, professor emeritus at SIUC.
		Until now, it was thought the salamander family Plethodontidae -- which resemble lizards but are lungless and known for their long tails -- lived only in the Americas and in remote parts of Western Europe.
		DNA analysis proves the Korean salamanders, though they resemble their New World cousins, are indeed a different species unto themselves.

		It is 40 mm (1.6 inches) long, fl with a dark red or yellow stripe on its back and belongs to the family of lungless salamanders that breathe through their moist skins and make up 70 percent of the total of 535 salamander species.
		The Korean salamander, whose common name is the Korean crevice salamander, was first identified in South Korea in 2003 and has since been seen in 16 locations in three provinces.

	Salamanders are ‘living fossils’!
		The gist of the story is that these fossil specimens are from the Cryptobranchidae salamander family, which includes the modern-day Asian giant salamander (Andrias) and the North American hellbender (Cryptobranchus).
		Until this recent discovery, the earliest cryptobranchid salamander fossils were dated by evolutionists to around 60 million years ago, but these salamander fossils from Upper Mongolia are said to predate them ‘by a remarkable 100 million years’.
		salamanders have always been salamanders, which explains why living and fossil forms are identical.

		Kang, with his new wife, Yoon Hae Ryon, and a finely tailored suit, seemed to be on the far side of the planet from Yodok, the labor camp in which he survived for a decade on a starvation diet fortified with salamanders, cockroaches and rats.
		Following the beliefs of the North Korean authorities that political deviance is hereditary, entire families were routinely incarcerated, and still are, recent defectors say.
		"The way to eat a salamander is to grab it by the tail and swallow it in one quick gulp before it can discharge a foul tasting liquid," he wrote.

		The discovery means that lungless salamanders from the family Plethodontidae, which were widespread about 60-100 million years ago, had a wider range than scientists had thought.
		The nocturnal creature was named Karsenia koreana but will be commonly known as the Korean crevice salamander and is significantly different from other lungless salamanders.

		It also provides a straightforward analysis on the difference between the Seoul dialect and the Kyengsang dialect of Korean with regard to n-Insertion; the dialectal difference is derivable from the choice of prosodic domains.
		In Korean, these compounds are split into two classes depending on the prosodic type of the left constituent while in Japanese, all these compounds pattern with the prosodic word compounds.
		This divergence between Japanese and Korean is attributed to the parametric difference in the recursiveness of the prosodic root; the prosodic root is recursive in Korean but not in Japanese.

		Released from Yodok upon nearing their 10-year anniversary at the camp, Kang and his family were banished to the countryside, far away from the showcase city of Pyongyang, his hometown.
		With his understanding of the situation, Kang is convinced that South Korean aid to the North Koreans was the primary factor in sustaining the Kim regime during the 1990s, when the country's economy was failing and millions starved to death.

	American type of salamander -- in Korea / Amphibian unlike any others in Asia gets new genus
		The appearance of a distinctive American salamander species beneath a rock in far-off Korea is "the most stunning discovery in the field of herpetology during my lifetime," says David B. Wake, an evolutionary biologist at UC Berkeley.
		The salamander story begins with a high school biology teacher from Illinois named Stephen J. Karsen who teaches at the Taejon Christian International School in Korea and who led his class into the woods two years ago to turn over some rocks, just to see what they might find.
		Because Karsen knew that all Asian salamanders live in the water and shun the land, he sent his unusual discovery to his retired zoology professor, Ronald A. Brandon, of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.
