Does anyone have a reference or actual paper with the genetic distance within the genus Ambystoma please?

There are a number of them. It depends largely upon which species and species groups you are interested in. Scroll through the species list at CNAH and check the taxonomic contents for references. Some of those references will be in the CNAH pdf library.

Here's a good starting point for pdfs:

I was hoping someone had done a complete review of the genus in this respect, and that someone on here had a quick reference for it. I'll hold on in case someone has better news before I jump into lit. searching.

I have been unable to find any genus wide, however, we are working on a large project here at the Uni with the intent of encompassing the genus. (Personally,I feel it is flawed as it stands now.)
I'll dig around a bit, I have a pretty large file of papers on the topic on my hardrive here....somewhere...

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
