Description

The axolotl is a type of salamander native to Mexico that is used in biological research. Developmental Biology of the Axolotl is a short yet comprehensive book that combines practical information for rearing and maintaining the axolotl in the laboratory with a survey of basic developmental research utilizing the axolotl. The book will be a useful reference for developmental biologists.
