The trophic niche is one of the most important ecological traits for any species, as it provides information about trophic position in a food web, preference on foraging sites, intra- and interspecific interactions. In this study we examined seasonal variations in the diet composition of two sympatric salamanders from central Italy, the Italian cave ...

Subterranean systems provide a suitable overwintering habitat for Salamandra salamandra
The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) has been repeatedly noted to occur in natural and artificial subterranean systems. Despite the obvious connection of this species with underground shelters, their level of dependence and importance to the ...

Factors determining the dorsal coloration pattern of aposematic salamanders
Aposematic bright colors have a key role for animal defense and can be expressed through metabolic production or by acquiring pigments from diet. Aposematic coloration can be related to both local adaptations and availability of trophic resources.

ABSTRACT In this article, I examine group science talk within the classrooms of three urban secondary science teachers who regularly use one‐to‐one computers to mediate their NGSS‐aligned science instruction. I combine methods of framing analysis (Goffman 1974; Tannen 1993) and interaction analysis (Jordan and Henderson 1995) to illustrate differences ...

Successful translocation of an imperiled amphibian following targeted habitat restoration efforts
Abstract Recovery strategies have increasingly called for the use of conservation translocations to overcome barriers to natural recolonization of suitable habitat to reverse population declines. The critically imperiled Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) has experienced severe range contractions and local extirpations across most of ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Salamandra algira is the only African salamander species. This amphibian can only be found in a few mountain ranges of Algeria and Morocco. We collected one hundred salamander denominations among the Berber and Arabic varieties practice in these moutains.

Spatiotemporal reproductive strategies in the fire salamander: a model and empirical test [PDF]
Although density-dependent processes and the risk of pool desiccation dominate temporary pool ecology literature, the spreading of larvae across pools and time as a strategy for managing these central stress factors has not been rigorously addressed as an adaptive mechanism.
