Red-spotted newts Notophthalmus

Responses of male red-spotted newts Notophthalmus viridescens) to waterborne female odors... 

In the case of the red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) of North America, the red eft is the stage that occurs after transformation of the aquatic larva. The red eft is bright red or orange, and is a pre-reproductive adult stage. The red eft wanders widely in forests, sometimes for several years, and is most common on moist nights. Eventually, the red eft migrates to an aquatic...
