Dear urodele researchers:
I participate actually in a group of Science divulgation with the topic
axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum. I do speak about it because the biological
characteristics of this species and my interest on it as model and subjet
of research (I participated in the "International Workshop on the
Molecular Biology of Axolotls and other Urodeles", at 1993). In the
exposition I do speak about geographic distribution, biological
characteristics, the porpouse for which it is used and its utility on
biological research and the places at the world in which it is breeded
and used for this porpouse. For this reason I want to know who have
Ambystoma mexicanum colonies or in the laboratory, and who do use it as
model or subjet of research and what country at.
I request you be kind to send me information about it in your
laboratory please, and if you permit it will be included in my speaking.
Thanks in advance.
