Changes to Skin Microbiome Community Dynamics Support Resistance to Enzootic and Epizootic Strains of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in the Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Global spread of animal pathogens has contributed to species declines and extinctions. In regions where a particular disease is enzootic, pathogen inhibition may arise through protection provided by host‐associated microbiomes. Amphibians skin microbiomes can inhibit growth of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), preventing

Transcriptional landscapes of Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)

Developmental Biology, 2018
The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the vertebrate model system with the highest regeneration capacity. Experimental tools established over the past 100 years have been fundamental to start unraveling the cellular and molecular basis of tissue and limb regeneration.

tBid‐Mediated Genetic Ablation of Connective Tissue Cells Reveals Their Key Regulatory Function During Limb Regeneration in Axolotls

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
We establish a tBid‐mediated cell ablation system in axolotls, achieve rapid and efficient ablation of multiple cell types, including muscle stem cell, spinal cord cell, and connective tissue (CT) cells. We investigate the role of CT using tBid‐mediated CT ablation and identify its essential role for limb development and regeneration.

Axolotl extract induces cell cycle arrest and differentiation in human acute myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells

Tumor Biology, 2020
Acute myeloid leukemia is the most common form of acute leukemia in adults, constituting about 80% of cases. Although remarkable progress has been made in the therapeutic scenario for patients with acute myeloid leukemia, research and development of new ...

Microbial metacommunity ecology: Using null models and networks to understand assembly in a salamander disease system

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Animals host diverse microbiomes crucial for their health, which subsequently influence their function in ecosystems. Metacommunity theory offers a useful framework to understand the processes driving host‐associated microbiome assembly across scales, linking regional environmental processes to local host–microbial processes.

Shifty Frogs: Evidence of Iridescence Among Amphibians

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Iridescence is a striking optical phenomenon observed in some animals whereby colour or reflectivity changes based on viewing angle, such that two observers in different locations may simultaneously perceive the same tissue differently. Among amphibians, there is limited photographic evidence of tissues displaying colour shifts that define ...

Neural regulation in tooth regeneration of Ambystoma mexicanum

Scientific Reports, 2020
The presence of nerves is an important factor in successful organ regeneration in amphibians. The Mexican salamander, Ambystoma mexicanum, is able to regenerate limbs, tail, and gills when nerves are present.

Developmental dynamics of Ambystoma tigrinum in a changing landscape [PDF]

BMC Ecology, 2010
Loss of pond habitat is catastrophic to aquatic larval amphibians, but even reduction in the amount of time a breeding site holds water (hydroperiod) can influence amphibian development and limit reproductive success. Using the landscape variation of a glacial valley in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem as the context for a natural experiment, we ...

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 2013 ignited a large ...

Temporal response of the tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) to 3,000 years of climatic variation

BMC Ecology, 2005
Background Amphibians are sensitive indicators of environmental conditions and show measurable responses, such as changes in phenology, abundance and range limits to local changes in precipitation and temperature regimes.
