Rough-skinned Newts (
Taricha granulosa) were observed most frequently among all sample sites and years on Mitkof and Wrangell Islands, with CPUEs of 0.33 and 0.12, respectively (Table 3).
The role of corticosterone and toxicity in the antipredator behavior of the Rough-skinned Newt (
Taricha granulosa).
This ecological role has been well documented in rough-skinned newts (
Taricha granulosa), in which high concentrations of TTX are found in the dorsal skin of adults [6].
(2003) Tetrodotoxin levels in eggs of the roughskin newt,
Taricha granulosa, are correlated with female toxicity.
Secretion and regeneration of Tetrodotoxin in the rough-skin newt (
Taricha granulose).
clarkii has been linked to diminishing numbers of California newt (
Taricha torosa), a species of special concern (Kats et al.
Unlike in a similar study focused on highly toxic American newts of the genus
Taricha (Stokes et al., 2011), no newt carcass was found during the present study.

Many "Newts" produce toxins, the rough skinned
Taricha, for example, produces enough to kill an adult human, and while all "Newts" go through a metamorphosis from tadpole to lizard, few expected that metamorphosis to reach human form in the person of the front running Republican candidate for President, Newt Gingrich.
Tambien, Costa-Neto (1999) senala que diversos compuestos extraidos de peces se usan en la medicina moderna; por ejemplo, un estimulante cardiaco a partir de Eptatretus stoutii, antitumorales de Dasyatis sabina y analgesicos de
Taricha sp.
For example, the interactions between tritons,
Taricha granulosa, and snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis (Brodie, Ridenhour and Brodie, 2002), and between moths, Greya politella, and woodland star Lithophragma parviflorum (Thompson and Pellmyr, 1992) present evidence of evolution for only one of the interacting species.
