Intoxication of a dog with alkaloids of the fire salamander [PDF]
Medycyna Weterynaryjna, 2017 Europe. Its distinctive black-yellow skin produces toxic alkaloids in the dorsal and parotoid skin glands. These alkaloids can cause clinical signs of intoxication and may lead to death of an animal after mucosal contact or ingestion of the fire salamander.

Measuring athletic performance in post-metamorphic fire salamanders [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2021 Objective Athletic performances are dynamic movements that are physically challenging and often predict individual success in ecological contexts. They stem from a complex integration of multiple phenotypic traits—e.g., morphological, physiological and ...

A case of color aberration in a fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) larva [PDF]
Herpetozoa, 2020 Color aberrations in salamanders are caused by defective chromatophores or by disrupted synthesis of the pigments, and have been previously reported in Europe.

Hybridization and extensive mitochondrial introgression among fire salamanders in peninsular Italy [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear patterns of population genetic structure is providing key insights into the eco-evolutionary dynamics between and within species, and their assessment is highly relevant to biodiversity monitoring practices ...

Yellow patterns polymorphism of the fire salamander Salamandra salamandra in Poland
Acta Herpetologica, 2018 We analysed variation of dorsal yellow patterns in 2077 individuals that represented 23 populations from the northern parts of the Sudetes and the Carpathian Mountains. We distinguished four types of yellow patterns: spotted (50.1%), spotted-and-striped (

The Role of Plasticity and Adaptation in the Incipient Speciation of a Fire Salamander Population. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2019 Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation via genetic change are two major mechanisms of response to dynamic environmental conditions. These mechanisms are not mutually exclusive, since genetic change can establish similar phenotypes to plasticity.

Functions and mechanisms of niche conformance in fire salamander larvae
Climate change, habitat loss and pathogens are among the main drivers for biodiversity loss in our changing world. This becomes very noticeable in amphibian species, as they are dependent on precipitation and temperature and thus are in particular impacted by climate change. Extreme weather events such as heavy rain or droughts will occur more often in
