I am having difficulty finding this data online, it may be hidden as a subtopic in a paper or in secondary literature. does anyone know of such and can point me to it? also, anyone know of neotenic populations in OK or TX-i need some for research and dont want to use bait tigers.

thanks

To find population of neotonic Ambystoma in Texas and Oklahoma, you should contact the Departments of Natural Resources in these states. You are going to have to obtain permits anyway and they may have the location information you need.

Also, information on lab techniques may be obtained by contacting the author(s) in journal articles. If they are at a know teaching institute, their phone number or email address may be obtained from the school directory.
 
Here is a way to find some papers, I don't know if any of these are what you are looking for. Go to
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
search for keywords such as
Ambystoma gonadotropin
and look at the oldest articles. I see some old ones that have info for breeding mexicanum. Might be useful.

Which brings up another question... if you need neotenic tigers, why not use axies? Does locality matter?
 
i got results in about 24 hours with LHRHa, giving 20ug per 10 g body-weight. administered IM, although it could have been done in lymph hearts...anyways, less than 24 hours later i have about 50 eggs. lets see if they are fertile.
