Hi,
http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0006-2928/contents
The first article click on the PDF-form and there you go...

Maybe you already knew this, it came out in June...

Anyway, it confirms(through genetic data) that fuzhongensis and guanxiensis are separate species. Actually guanxiensis is closer to deloustali.
Caudopunctatus seem to be the stem to the rest of the Paramesotriton genus(except maybe laoensis which is not treated here..).
Nice article!
 
Thanks Jesper!

Seems only the abstract is available for free:

ABSTRACT:

Molecular Phylogeny of the Genus Paramesotriton (Caudata: Salamandridae)

By Shunqing Lu, Zhi-Gang Yuan, Junfeng Pang, Datong Yang, Fahong Yu, Peter McGuire, Feng Xie, Ya-Ping Zhang

"To elucidate the phylogeny of the genus Paramesotriton (Caudata: Salamandridae), we investigated three mitochondrial DNA gene fragments (1207 bp in total) of cytochrome b, ND2, and ND4 for its six recognized species. The phylogenetic relationships within Paramesotriton were reconstructed by maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. Phylogenetic trees (MP and ML trees) that were constructed from the combined data set of the three gene fragments indicated that all six species of Paramesotriton formed a monophyletic group, with P. caudopunctatus as basal to the other five species. This result suggests that P. fuzhongensis is a valid species in Paramesotriton."

Thanks for the heads up Jesper - I missed this one.
I have a copy of the full article if anyone is interested in the details.
 
Hi,
I just checked, it is there...

It might be because i have access through my university, It said nothing about it though.

I have sent you a copy Tim. Give me an email I'll send the article in PDF form. Alan is probably busy working, he is Dr.Cann after all ;)
Me I have a lot of free time until Januari when I start working too.....
 
Yeah, when I click on the PDF file, the site wants to charge me $25 to view it.

Thanks very much for the copy!
 
Oddly enough, reading caudata.org is slowly turning into working! (The PCR primers listed in the paper will be very useful!).
 
Don't worry I'll charge you - no problem Alan

Btw I have found some more articles that might be of use, I posted a list in the general forum.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
