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.

Behavioural underpinning of mito-nuclear discordances: insights from fire salamanders. [PDF]
R Soc Open SciMito-nuclear discordances across secondary contact zones have been described in a wide range of organisms. They consist of a spatial mismatch between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in terms of location and extension of the contact zone between distinct evolutionary lineages.

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 ...

Expanding distribution of lethal amphibian fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Europe [PDF]
, 2016 Emerging fungal diseases can drive amphibian species to local extinction. During 2010-2016, we examined 1,921 urodeles in 3 European countries. Presence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans at new locations and in urodeles of different
