“…Many of these species and populations are considered at risk of extinction (see Frías-Alvarez et al 2010 for review). Threats to these populations include habitat loss, Espinal et al et al 2004, Robles-Mendoza et al 2009). In addition, several species of Ambystoma in Mexico have been found to be infected with the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Frías-Alvarez et al 2008).…”

Diet of larval Ambystoma rivulare (Caudata: Ambystomatidae), a threatened salamander from the Volcán Nevado de Toluca, Mexico. Several species of salamander in the genus Ambystoma occur in the mountains surrounding Mexico City and are considered at risk of extinction. However, little is known about their ecology and natural history. The Toluca Stream Siredon (Ambystoma rivulare September 2014, we examined the diet of larval A. rivulare from a stream on the Volcán Nevado de Toluca in Mexico to provide insight into the suitability of the habitat to support this population of salamanders. Ostracods accounted for approximately 90% of all prey items consumed by larval A. rivulare. The number of ostracods found in stomachs increased with individual body size, but the proportion of ostracods in stomachs did not vary with body size. Nematodes were observed in approximately one third of the stomachs we examined. The diversity of prey in the diet of A. rivulare in the stream we studied is low and dominated by a single prey taxon, ostracods. Our results suggest that if environmental conditions in the stream change such that ostracods are negatively affected then the longterm persistence of this population of A. rivulare might be in jeopardy.

“…Totally, 96 h LC 50 value was reported for chlorpyrifos as 2.41 mg/L for embryos of Xenopus laevis [23]. For larvae of Ambystoma mexicanum the 96 h LC 50 value for chlorpyrifos has been reported as 1.36 mg/L [24]. Ninety six h LC 50 value for chlorpyrifos for tadpoles of Bufo bufo gargarizans has been reported as 0.80 mg/L [25].…”
