title: Transplanted eyes of foreign donors can reinstate the optically activated skin camouflage reactions in bilaterally enucleated salamanders (Ambystoma).
abstract: Bilateral enucleation immediately and irreversibly cancels the skin camouflage reactions of Ambystoma larvae. A heteroplastic eye transplant can reinstate the latter reaction. Recipients of a heteroplastic eye recovered the reaction as frequently and to the same extent as animals with one of their own eyes reattached.
