Resumo

Amblystoma larvae, deprived of the cerebral hemispheres, eyes, and nasal organs react by snapping at inanimate objects in motion. They are capable of feeding upon daphnia and small enchytraeid worms. Their food intake and growth is greatly reduced as compared with these functions in larvae lacking eyes and nasal organs, but with the hemispheres intact.
