Chemical defense of the eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens): variation in efficiency against different consumers and in different habitats.
Amphibian secondary metabolites are well known chemically, but their ecological functions are poorly understood--even for well-studied species. For example, the eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is a well known secretor of tetrodotoxin (TTX), with this compound hypothesized to facilitate this...
