 | | The majority of salamanders measure 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) in length, but the smallest known salamander reaches just 2.7 cm (1.1 in), and the Japanese giant salamander grows to 1.5 m (5 ft). | | | Aquatic salamanders, such as the amphiuma, are usually larger, and they often have reduced limbs. | | | Male salamanders commonly have skin glands that produce scent-emitting chemicals called pheromones that play a role in courtship and mating. |

| | Pacific Giant Salamander |
| | The reproductive biology of the Pacific Giant Salamander is poorly known. | | | Pacific Giant Salamanders inhabit cool, moist coniferous forests in the vicinity of cold, clear streams and mountain lakes. | | | Pacific Giants are among the relatively few salamanders that are capable of producing vocalizations. |

| | Alligators, some related species of giant salamander, and magnolias only occur in Eastern North America and East Asia (these two locations were once spatially close in the Laurasian continent). | | | The west and east coast of South America is very similar in habitat, but the marine fauna is very different. | | | Dandelions reproduce without fertilization (a condition known as apomixis), yet they retain flowers and produce pollen (both are sexual organs normally used for sexual fertilization) ( Mes et al. |

| | ENHS Nature Trails December 2000 Article 3 |
| | My most vivid salamander memory is of a coastal canyon in November, where a large adult Pacific Giant Salamander was partly emerged from a burrow on a green, mossy slope next to a golden chanterelle. | | | Torrent salamanders are listed as a sensitive species in Oregon, largely because logging exposes seeps to direct sunlight and raises the water temperature above their narrow range of tolerance. | | | Decayed logs are an important habitat for several salamander species in Oregon and are a vanishing resource in areas where logging removes trees long before they die and rot on the forest floor. |

| | The Japanese giant salamander is one of the worlds largest amphibians. | | | As night approaches, animals such as shika deer and Asiatic black bears emerge to forage for food beneath the trees. | | | Such activities further threaten species such as the Asiatic black bear and sika deer, which already face local extinction. |

| | Two species of endangered salamanders (Jemez Mountains salamander and Sacramento Mountain salamander) in New Mexico are found in mixed conifer forests dominated by white fir and are vulnerable to some forest management practices [ 250 ]. | | | The white fir series in the Siskiyou Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California is divided into several associations with codominants including: California red fir, currant, baldhip rose, creeping snowberry, prince's pine, sandler oak, Oregon boxwood ( Paxistima myrsinites), dwarf Oregon-grape, giant chinquapin, Alaska-cedar ( C. | | | In the San Bernardino Mountains white fir is codominant with ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine or with sugar pine on north aspects, with incense-cedar and California black oak as common associates and a wealth of herbaceous species mixed with a considerable understory of shrubs. |

| | Pacific giant salamanders were found to be the only vertebrate fauna in upper Moat Creek (Higgins, 1994), a small coastal tributary south of Point Arena. | | | In some coastal case studies where widespread simultaneous disruption of the landscape and aquatic ecosystems occur, Pacific giants may become scarce, such as in the Gualala River basin (Higgins, 1997). | | | The southern torrent salamander may be more tolerant of stream canopy removal in the redwood forests in the zone of marine influence (summer fog), based on its present distribution in altered landscapes (Diller and Wallace, 1994 as cited in Welsh et al., 2000). |

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