  • The Salamanders of Tennessee
    Salamanders of Tennessee: modified from Lisa Powers tnwildlife.org Follow links to Nongame The Salamanders of Tennessee Photo by John White Salamanders are the group of tailed, vertebrate animals that along with frogs and caecilians make up the class Amphibia. Salamanders are ectothermic (cold-blooded), have smooth glandular skin, lack claws and must have a moist environment in which to live. 1 Amphibian Declines Worldwide, over 200 amphibian species have experienced recent population declines. Scientists have reports of 32 species First discovered in 1967, the golden extinctions, toad, Bufo periglenes, was last seen mainly species of in 1987. frogs. Much attention has been given to the Anurans (frogs) in recent years, however salamander populations have been poorly monitored. Photo by Henk Wallays Fire Salamander - Salamandra salamandra terrestris 2 Why The Concern For Salamanders in Tennessee? Their key role and high densities in many forests The stability in their counts and populations Their vulnerability to air and water pollution Their sensitivity as a measure of change The threatened and endangered status of several species Their inherent beauty and appeal as a creature to study and conserve. *Possible Factors Influencing Declines Around the World Climate Change Habitat Modification Habitat Fragmentation Introduced Species UV-B Radiation Chemical Contaminants Disease Trade in Amphibians as Pets *Often declines are caused by a combination of factors and do not have a single cause. Major Causes for Declines in Tennessee Habitat Modification -The destruction of natural habitats is undoubtedly the biggest threat facing amphibians in Tennessee. Housing, shopping center, industrial and highway construction are all increasing throughout the state and consequently decreasing the amount of available habitat for amphibians.

It has been classified as a species of greatest conservation need by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). Found only in mountainous areas along the borders of Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia, populations of the yonahlossee are considered to be rare and local throughout their range. Genetic differentiation among populations of any species is usually attributable to long-standing, extrinsic barriers to gene flow.

  • • What I Hope to Convey to You Is That Rare Earths Are Uniquely Required for High Performance Magnets
    • What I hope to convey to you is that rare earths are uniquely required for high performance magnets. • First a quick introduction to Arnold – the company I’ve worked for since 1992. • Arnold’s history in magnetics and magnetic materials extends back to 1895 and has included almost every commercially supplied permanent and soft magnetic product. • Today Arnold is focused on: SmCo, Alnico and bonded permanent magnets; precision thin metals – both magnetic and non-magnetic; magnetic assemblies for motors, magnetic levitation, sensing and separation technologies; and most recently we have responded to customer requests to develop and supply ultra-high performance permanent magnet motors for select applications. • Let’s start by answering this question: What makes rare earth elements so special? • The rare earth elements consist of the 15 lanthanide elements (lanthanum to lutetium) plus yttrium and scandium. • Yttrium and scandium are directly above lanthanum in the periodic table and have chemical properties that are very similar to the lanthanides – that is why they are usually included with them. • Note cesium and barium precede lanthanum in row 6 of the periodic table and that hafnium, element number 72, continues row 6 right after lutetium, the lanthanide with the highest atomic number, 71. • Note too, row 4 of the table which contains the transition elements including iron, cobalt and nickel. We’ll be making some comparison between the two groups of elements in later slides. • Rare earth elements (REEs) have considerable chemical similarities thus making them difficult to separate from each other. • That is one reason they were late in being discovered, isolated and incorporated in alloys and compounds.
