Caudata (salamanders, newts, amphiuma, mudpuppies, waterdogs, sirens) |
 | | Because of these new discoveries, the databases and taxonomic models on livingunderworld.org are updated when new information is discovered or handed down, and an effort is made to keep it as current as possible. |
 | | Taxonomy is increasingly based on molecular findings, rather than morphological similarities, which has cleared up many "gray areas" in the caudate order, and enabled scientists to classify similar species definitively. |
 | | For information about Taxonomy, the Linnaean System of Classification, and Cladistics, see article 0012 - Introduction to Systematics and Taxonomy. |
