Although the fire salamander, Salamandra infraimmaculata, is relatively distributed in a broad area in the Middle East, it lives in a narrow area in southeast and south Anatolia in Turkey. The habitats of the species have been downgraded day by day, and its IUCN category is listed as "NT, and the population trend is decreasing. Within the scope of this

Loathsome Beasts: Images of Reptiles and Amphibians in Art and Science
The mythology and symbolism historically associated with reptiles and amphibians is unequaled by that of any other taxonomic group of animals. Even today, these creatures serve as icons - often indicating magic or evil - in a variety of media.

Habitat adaptation rather than genetic distance correlates with female preference in fire salamanders () [PDF]
Background: Although some mechanisms of habitat adaptation of conspecific populations have been recently elucidated, the evolution of female preference has rarely been addressed as a force driving habitat adaptation in natural settings.

Evidence for Asian Swamp Eels as an Emerging Threat to Everglades Amphibians
ABSTRACT As amphibian populations around the globe continue to shrink and suffer enigmatic declines, it is critical to use systematic studies to isolate causes and provide management targets for key environmental variables. We sampled the amphibian community at 30 sites dispersed across four large regions of the Everglades (FL, USA).

High accuracy decoding of dynamical motion from a large retinal population [PDF]
Motion tracking is a challenge the visual system has to solve by reading out the retinal population. Here we recorded a large population of ganglion cells in a dense patch of salamander and guinea pig retinas while displaying a bar moving diffusively. We

The value of reducing uncertainties to support the management of a high‐elevation endemic salamander
Abstract Many salamander populations are declining, and methods to determine how best to allocate limited resources to slow or reverse these declines could support land managers in their decision‐making processes. Multiple types of uncertainty may delay management decisions, including when (1) knowledge of a species' ecology is incomplete, (2) climate ...
