During their evolution, many species of lungless salamanders (fam. Plethodontidae) have experienced a great increase in genome size and consequently in the size of their cells, including sensory receptors and neurons. In addition, some have become extremely miniaturized. The consequences of these events and the morphological compensatory processes are studied in the visual system of juvenile and adult salamanders.
在其进化过程中，许多无肺螈科物种经历了基因组大小的大幅增加，进而导致其细胞大小增加，包括感觉受体和神经元。此外，一些物种变得极其小型化。这些事件的后果以及形态学补偿过程在幼年和成年蝾螈的视觉系统中进行了研究。
