In addition to these well-adapted groups, occasional representatives of other groups have become at least semiterrestrial. |
Riparian systems are transitional semiterrestrial areas regularly influenced by freshwater, usually extending from the edges of water bodies to the edges of upland communities. |
Extremes in this case are represented by suctorial species, Poyntonia paludicola, and various semiterrestrial forms. |
Most salamanders are terrestrial or semiterrestrial as adults, but many return to aquatic habitats to breed. |
