Great Article on Cryptic Biodiversity in Salamanders

[jeff]

I was surfing the web, and found this great article on how scientists are using DNA analysis to determine Family, Genus and Species in salamanders. It was especially interesting to read that some of the salamanders that were impossible to tell apart with the naked eye were a completely different species when examined genetically. I'm not sure if it's been posted already, but here it is anyway: http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2001/06/28_sldna.html
Enjoy
