Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT In northern Italy, the ongoing spread of non‐native red‐swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii keeps indirectly decimating native populations of white‐clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes complex and is now also threatening local amphibians adapted to slow‐flowing, hilly streams at the borders of its distribution.

Acta Herpetologica, 2014 Alternative reproductive strategies are widespread in caudate amphibians. Among them, fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) usually rely on streams to give birth to aquatic larvae but also use ponds, whereas palmate newt larvae (Lissotriton helveticus)

Contributions to the functional morphology of caudate skulls: kinetic and akinetic forms [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 A strongly ossified and rigid skull roof, which prevents parietal kinesis, has been reported for the adults of all amphibian clades. Our μ-CT investigations revealed that the Buresch’s newt (Triturus ivanbureschi) possess a peculiar cranial construction.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 17, September 2026.ABSTRACT Crawford Lake has an exceptional stratigraphic record that began recording biannual (varved) sedimentation in the lake basin ~750 years ago, preserving evidence of shifting cultural zones and agricultural practices, from Late Woodland Period Indigenous agriculturalists to the impacts of industrialization during the late 19th century.

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 4, Page 340-352, August 2026.In this study we tested the effects of insularity on amphibian colouration using the fire salamander as a model system. Although increased melanism was not a consistent pattern across all islands, salamanders from one island exhibited higher proportions of black pigmentation than mainland populations, while insular populations overall showed reduced ...

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 2013 ignited a large ...

Larval monitoring of fire salamanders within a Sparkling Science Project [PDF]
eco.mont (Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research), 2012 The mixed forest of the locally protected Aigner Park in the city of Salzburg, Austria, is a good example of a perfect fire salamander habitat. It provides ideal habitat conditions for the aquatic and terrestrial life of this threatened amphibian species.

Blue plaque review series: Thomas Graham Brown: Before his time
Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 7, Page 3191-3202, 1 July 2026.Abstract Thomas Graham Brown made a seminal discovery, published in 1911 while he was a Carnegie Fellow in the University of Liverpool laboratory of Nobel Prize winner Charles S. Sherrington. Working in cats, he showed that rhythmic ‘voluntary’ behaviour, such as stepping and, by inference, walking, does not result from a chain of reflex events, but ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
