HabiÂ­tat. The slimy salaÂ­manÂ­der is comÂ­monly found beÂ­neath stones and deÂ­cayÂ­ing logs in wooded areas and alongÂ­side streams, as well as in the crevices of shale banks and along the sides of gulÂ­lies and ravines (DavidÂ­son 1956; GrobÂ­man 1944).
homologous - corresponding or similar in position or structure or function or characteristics; especially derived from an organism of the same species; a homologous tissue graft. autologous - derived from organisms of the selfsame individual; autologous blood donation.
In the context of biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different species. A common example of homologous structures in evolutionary biology are the wings of bats and the arms of primates.Evolutionary theory explains the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor.he wings of pterosaurs (1), bats (2) and birds (3) are analogous as wings, but homologous as forelimbs. Evolutionary ancestry means that structures evolved from some structure in a common ancestor; for example, the wings of bats and the arms of primates are homologous in this sense.
