The team recorded footage of a female wom-like amphibian, called caecilian, allowing her young to peel off and eat her skin.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Jawa Report] Reference

Judging from these movies, Mark Wilkinson is evidently some kind of caecilian-hunting guru genius: with just two lazy, shallow strokes of a spade, he was able to discover two caecilians in their native habitat.    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference

Earlier it was reported on a new species of caecilian from Goa, India.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2007-02-01] Reference

The site did post the July birth of a caecilian, a legless amphibian, at the Tennessee Aquarium.    From Wordnik.com.  [All together now: Awwwwwwwwwww] Reference

The species differ from the other eight known caecilian members of the genus Gegeneophis in India by the presence of visible eyes, over 120 annuli and over 75 secondary annular grooves.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2007-02-01] Reference

Of the five endemic amphibians two are tree frogs (Afrixalus clarkei and Afrixalus enseticola), two are ranid frogs (Phrynobatrachus bottegi and Phrynobatrachus sciangallarum), and one is a caecilian (Sylvacaecilia grandisonae).    From Wordnik.com.  [Ethiopian montane forests] Reference

Yet, Wilkinson noted, the number of new caecilian species hasn't risen much at all.    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference

David Gower presented the second talk of the meeting: 'Recent discoveries - a golden age for caecilian biology?'.    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference

Various new notable caecilian species have been named in recent years: examples include the giant lungless typhlonectid.    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference

However, she admitted that her explanation did not resolve how the aquatic caecilian or the frog might have lost their lungs.    From Wordnik.com.  [Stabroek News] Reference

David also showed a very cool photo of a very ambitious caecilian, gaping its jaws wide while trying to bite a giant earthworm.    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference

In 1999 researchers found the first known lungless caecilian and in 2008 another team reported a tiny, land-living, lungless frog.    From Wordnik.com.  [Stabroek News] Reference

The new species is even more of a surprise because the animal-named Caecilita iworkramae is strikingly different from the other known lung-less caecilian, according to the study authors.    From Wordnik.com.  [Stabroek News] Reference

Together with the small lungless frog, the diminutive new caecilian suggests that lunglessness is most likely to appear in land-dwelling amphibians that are relatively small, according to the study authors.    From Wordnik.com.  [Gaea Times (by Simple Thoughts) Breaking News and incisive views 24/7] Reference

Wake and Donnelly also noted that together with the small, lung-less frog, the diminutive new caecilian suggests that lunglessness is most likely to appear in land-dwelling amphibians that are relatively small.    From Wordnik.com.  [Stabroek News] Reference

While a dearth of knowledge is to be expected for such a cryptic group, poorly recorded locality data and a poor and sometimes sloppy appreciation of variation have combined to make caecilian systematics extremely confused.    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference

The meeting was attended by over 100 people, which really isn't bad going, especially when some of the organisers expressed fears that the event would only be attended by (to quote David Gower) "A handful of caecilian freaks".    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference

A graph plotting all 1000 or so caecilian-specific publications over time showed that scientific interest in caecilians rose sharply as a result of Edward Taylor's work, such that about half of all caecilian research has been published since the 1980s.    From Wordnik.com.  [ScienceBlogs Channel : Life Science] Reference
