text: This retention of larval characteristics (e.g., external gills, tail with fin margin) is accomplished through a developmental process called paedomorphosis; the form paedomorphosis apparently takes in salamanders involves neoteny, whereby the heterochronous development of the somatic tissues of immature animals proceeds apace slower than the development of the gonads and other components of the reproductive system (Pough et al., 1999).
