Taricha (Gray, 1850) Pacific, or Western Newts Taricha torosa are typically chocolate brown to tannish-brown dorsally, with yellow to burnt orange bellies, and highly granular skin. Taricha granulosa are found along the western border of North America, from Alaska to California, and from sea level to 9,000 feet. Taricha granulosa are the most aquatic species of the genus, and are occasionally found in water outside of the breeding season. www.livingunderworld.org /caudata/database/salamandridae/taricha   (5293 words)

Pigment cell pattern formation in Taricha torosa: the role of the extracellular matrix in controlling pigment cell ... Pigment cell pattern formation in Taricha torosa: the role of the extracellular matrix in controlling pigment cell migration and differentiation. This report describes studies on the factors governing the migratory pathways, differentiation, and ultimate localization of the neural crest-derived pigment cells (fl melanophores and yellow xanthophores) in the California newt, Taricha torosa. Immunocytochemistry, Alcian blue staining of paraffin sections and ruthenium red staining of thin sections (accompanied by Streptomyces hyaluronidase and chondroitinase ABC digestion) were used to identify the composition and distribution of the ECM surrounding the pigment cells at various stages during development. www.ihop-net.org /UniPub/iHOP/gp/5264944.html   (438 words)

California Newt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Larvae are difficult to find in streams as they blend in well with the sandy bottom, which they usually stay close to.
