| yes | mlu2688@yahoo.com | May 02, 2013 | 104KB | 43 | Salamander Data.xlsx
Data for 31 Yellow-Spotted Salamanders, from the Kanda Lab at Ithaca College, Central for Natural Sciences, who were sedated with a solution possessing a ratio of 1 liter distilled water/1 gram Oragel (active ingredient 20% benzocaine), until they showed no signs of movement in reaction to a toe-pinch. The salamanders were then rinsed with distilled water, and then a PIT-tag was surgically inserted into the ventral abdominal region, in between the dermis and epidermis tissue layers. Mass and lengths (total length and Snout-Vent Length) were then recorded, and following the salamanders were placed into a Tupperware container surrounded by moist paper towels. At that point, the salamanders were then observed for both 'heads-up' movement and complete recovery (body movement and 'normal behavior'), and the time until these took place was recorded. The variables include Gender, Total Length (cm), Snout-Vent Length [The measurement is from the tip of the nose (snout) to the anus (vent), and excludes the tail] (cm), Mass (g), and Recovery Time (minutes). | yes | matthewqbrooks@gmail.com | Apr 30, 2013 | 854B | 14 | Facebook data set
