Crested newt

The most common newts cf temperate parts of Eurasia are animals in the genus Triturus, for example, the smooth newt Triturus vulgaris), the crested newt T. cristatus), and the alpine newt T. alpestris). These newts do not have an eft st e, althor the adults may spend some time on land. The mountain newts Euproctus sjp.) ate another European group of newts.

A host of different species have been used over the past century for limb regeneration studies, including the European crested newt, Triturus cristatus, which is now a protected species. Today, however, four species predominate. One is the eastern spotted newt of North America, Notophthalmus viridescens, which is used as an adult. The adults of this species are common, adaptable to...
