The Midwife Toad Challenge After (Half) a Century
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The evolutionary biologist Paul Kammerer (1880–1926) purportedly demonstrated that environmentally induced character states are carried over to the next generation(s), therewith providing evidence for Lamarckian evolution.

A New Disease Caused by an Unidentified Etiological Agent Affects European Salamanders
Animals, 2022 New pathologies are causing dramatic declines and extinctions of multiple amphibian species. In 2013, in one fire salamander population of Northern Italy, we found individuals with undescribed cysts at the throat level, a malady whose existence has not ...

Does long-term fire suppression impact leaf litter breakdown and aquatic invertebrate colonization in pine flatwoods wetlands? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Ephemeral wetlands are commonly embedded within pine uplands of the southeastern United States. These wetlands support diverse communities but have often been degraded by a lack of growing-season fires that historically maintained the vegetation ...

Ecological transcriptomics – a non‐lethal sampling approach for endangered fire salamanders [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Summary The analysis of transcriptomes is well‐established and increasingly affordable in studies at the interface of ecology and evolution. Expression analysis of thousands of genes in parallel reveals functions and pathways involved in relevant phenotypic differentiation.

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 ...
