Do Salamanders Limit the Abundance of Groundwater Invertebrates in Subterranean Habitats?
Diversity, 2020 Several species of surface salamanders exploit underground environments; in Europe, one of the most common is the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra).

Urbanization Shapes Dietary Composition and Snout Morphology of Salamanders. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Urbanization rapidly alters landscapes, generating habitat mosaics characterized by increased impervious surface, reduced soil moisture and diminished vegetation cover. These recurring urban environmental features are expected to reduce community diversity, favouring urban‐tolerant species, thereby promoting urban biotic homogenization ...

A near-natural experiment on factors influencing larval drift in Salamandra salamandra
Scientific Reports, 2022 The larval stage of the European fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) inhabits both lentic and lotic habitats. In the latter, they are constantly exposed to unidirectional water flow, which has been shown to cause downstream drift in a variety of taxa.

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.

A first record of the antioxidant defense and selected trace elements in Salamandra salamandra larvae on Mt. Avala and Mt. Vršački Breg (Serbia) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2020 We investigated the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GR) and the phase II biotransformation enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST) in the whole body of fire salamander ...

Sexual size and shape dimorphism in Salamandra salamandra (Amphibia, Caudata, Salamandridae) from the central Balkans [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2013 Sexual size dimorphism is one of the key evolutionary features that has been studied in many organisms. On the other hand, sexual shape dimorphism has not been examined as well despite being as important as size dimorphism.

Animals, 2022 The trophic niche of a species is one of the fundamental traits of species biology. The ideal trophic niche of a species is realized in the absence of interspecific competition, targeting the most profitable and easy-to-handle food resources.

Cranial integration in the fire salamander, Salamandra salamandra (Caudata: Salamandridae) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020 AbstractPhenotypic integration and modularity are concepts that represent the pattern of connectivity of morphological structures within an organism. Integration describes the coordinated variation of traits, and analyses of these relationships among traits often reveals the presence of modules, sets of traits that are highly integrated but relatively ...
