Feb 25, 2019 · Observe the stages of development that occur within an Alpine newt embryo (Ichthyosaura alpestris) in this fascinating six minute time-lapse captured over a three week period.

Feb 19, 2019 · Witness the ‘making of’ a salamander from fertilization to hatching in this six minute time-lapse. A filmmaker has captured mesmerizing and intimate details of an alpine newt's first days. You,...

Feb 15, 2019 · A mesmerizing 6-minute time lapse shows a single cell dividing seemingly endlessly until what was once a yellow blob has become a wriggling, darting salamander tadpole.

Feb 9, 2019 · Simply called Becoming, this beautiful short film follows a single salamander embryo (Ichthyosaura Alpestris) as it grows and matures, from fertilisation right through to the final hatch.

May 1, 2015 · This study provides the first comprehensive description of the embryonic development of the plethodontid salamander, Hemidactylium scutatum. Embryos of the four-toed salamander develop into free-swimming larvae over a 45 …

We present a complete staging table of normal development for the lungless salamander, Hemidactylium scutatum (Caudata: Plethodontidae). Terrestrial egg clutches from naturally ovipositing females were collected and maintained at 15 °C in the laboratory.

Feb 10, 2019 · Salamanders especially the axolotl are known to be able to regenerate limbs while frogs and lizards cannot. How and why? The Dutch filmmaker Jan van IJken did a superb job bringing a fresh new artistic look into the fascinating process of vertebrate embryo development.

Nov 10, 2017 · Salamanders are known to be able to regenerate limbs while frogs and lizards cannot. How and why? The time lapsed footage of salamander embryos developing from single fertilized eggs forms the basis of our morphological understanding of animal development.

Watch as an alpine salamander grows from a single cell. Dutch director Jan van IJken has produced a captivating short film titled ‘Becoming’ that portrays the entire embryonic growth of an alpine newt in about six minutes, compressing a process that normally takes about three weeks.

Since the mid-19th century, improvements in microscopy have enabled an increasingly detailed description of how embryos develop, and an increasing appreciation that it proceeds through differentiation and specialisation of individual cells as the embryo grows.
