Abstract
Juvenile newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) exhibit different growth patterns in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Aquatic juveniles grow at a faster annual rate and mature earlier than the terrestrial efts. The growth of efts is largely concentrated in the summer; whereas, aquatic juveniles achieve most of their annual increment in the spring. The mean annual growth increment of the efts varied more from year to year than did that of the aquatic juveniles. These differences in growth were attributed to temperature and moisture conditions which influenced the amount of time the newts spent foraging.
