Abstract
Adult Taricha granulosa are relatively radioresistant in both their active (summer and spring) and inactive (winter) phases. Animals exposed to doses between 2700 and 3600 rads in their inactive phase died between 80 and 107 days post irradiation. Animals irradiated with similar doses in their active phase died between 40 and 75 days post irradiation. Some observations relating to changes in pigmentation are discussed.
