Trade network surveillance strategies
Abstract The global success of the wildlife trade industry has led to the emergence of novel pathogens over the past two decades. The introduction of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis to naive amphibian species has been a cause of global population decline and species extinction. A second chytridiomiycosis causing fungus, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

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)

Abstract Headwater streams play a critical role in the physical, chemical, and biological functions of downstream waters. However, predicting their specific impact on a landscape scale remains a grand challenge, prompting the development of the river corridor framework to integrate the study of stream channels and hyporheic zones with that of adjacent ...

Contributions to the functional morphology of caudate skulls: kinetic and akinetic forms [PDF]
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.

Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

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 ...

Larval monitoring of fire salamanders within a Sparkling Science Project [PDF]
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.
