Oedipina
''Oedipina'' is a genus of salamanders in the family Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders). They achieve respiration through the skin and the tissues lining the mouth. Species of ''Oedipina'' are native to Honduras, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Mexico.

Oedipina Taylori
''Oedipina taylori'', commonly known as Taylor's worm salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found on the Pacific versant in south-eastern Guatemala, to central to north-eastern El Salvador and adjacent southern Honduras. Honduran populations might represent another species. Etymology The specific name ''taylori'' honors Edward Harrison Taylor (1889–1978), an American herpetologist. Description ''Oedipina taylori'' was described by in 1952 based on a single specimen. This specimen—the holotype—is an adult male that measured in snout–vent length (SVL). Its tail is incomplete but is presumed to have been several times the SVL. The limbs are short, with partially webbed hands and feet. The coloration is gun-metal blue. It resembles '' Oedipina alfaroi'' but it has less webbing in the digits and a reduced number of vomerine teeth. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats probably are lowland and mid-altitude forests, but it has als ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oedipina Alfaroi
''Oedipina alfaroi'' is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in the Caribbean versant of eastern Costa Rica (Limón Province) and northwestern Panama (Bocas del Toro Province). It is commonly known as the Limon worm salamander. Etymology The specific name ''alfaroi'' honors Anastasio Alfaro (1865–1951) from the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica. xiii + 244 pp. Description ''Oedipina alfaroi'' was described based on two specimens, adult females measuring in snout–vent length and in total length, respectively (the latter individual had injured tail, hence the lower total length). The head is pointed and the eyes are relatively small. Maxillary teeth are absent. Body is dark or purplish brown above and grayish below. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are humid lowland forests at elevations of above sea level, but it can also occur in old banana plantations. It lives in the leaf litter. This uncommon species is threatened by habitat loss ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oedipina Carablanca
''Oedipina carablanca'', commonly known as the Los Diamantes worm salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. The species is endemic to Costa Rica and is only known from its type locality, Los Diamantes, near Guápiles, Limón Province. Habitat The natural habitats of ''Oedipina carablanca'' are tropical moist lowland forests, plantations, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest. Conservation status ''Oedipina carablanca'' is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species.

Edward Harrison Taylor
Edward Harrison Taylor (April 23, 1889 – June 16, 1978) was an American herpetologist from Missouri. Early life Taylor was born in Maysville, Missouri, to George and Loretta Taylor. He had an older brother, Eugene. Taylor studied at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, graduating with a B.A. in 1912. Field trips during his time at the University of Kansas with Dr. Clarence McClung and Dr. Roy Moody helped prepare Taylor for his future endeavors. Between 1916 and 1920 he returned briefly to Kansas to finish his M.A. Career Upon completing his bachelor's degree, Taylor went to the Philippines, where at first he held a teacher's post in a village in central Mindanao, in the Industrial School for Manobo now known as the Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology (ASSCAT). He collected and studied the local herpetofauna extensively and published many papers. He returned to the Philippines after completing his master's degree and was appointed Chief of ...

Plethodontidae
Plethodontidae, or lungless salamanders, are a family of salamanders. With over 500 species, lungless salamanders are by far the largest family of salamanders in terms of their diversity. Most species are native to the Western Hemisphere, from British Columbia to Brazil. Only two extant genera occur in the Eastern Hemisphere: '' Speleomantes'' (native to Sardinia and mainland Europe south of the Alps) and '' Karsenia'' (native to South Korea). Biology Adult lungless salamanders have four limbs, with four toes on the fore limbs, and usually with five on the hind limbs. Within many species, mating and reproduction occur solely on land. Accordingly, many species also lack an aquatic larval stage, a phenomenon known as direct development in which the offspring hatch as fully-formed, miniature adults. Direct development is correlated with changes in the developmental characteristics of plethodontids compared to other families of salamanders including increases in egg size and durat ...

Josiah H
Josiah () or Yoshiyahu was the 16th king of Judah (–609 BCE). According to the Hebrew Bible, he instituted major religious reforms by removing official worship of gods other than Yahweh. Until the 1990s, the biblical description of Josiah’s reforms were usually considered to be more or less accurate, but that is now heavily debated. According to the Bible, Josiah became king of the Kingdom of Judah at the age of eight, after the assassination of his father, King Amon, and reigned for 31 years, from 641/640 to 610/609 BCE. Josiah is known only from biblical texts; no reference to him exists in other surviving texts of the period from ancient Egypt or Babylon, and no clear archaeological evidence, such as inscriptions bearing his name, has ever been found. However, a seal bearing the name " Nathan-melech," the name of an administrative official under King Josiah according to , dating to the 7th century BCE, was found in situ in an archeological site in Jerusalem.
