Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]
, 2015 Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...

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.

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 ...
