Frogs, fire, and fungus: The effects of prescribed fire on frog occupancy and health in a biodiversity hotspot

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The global amphibian extinction crisis results from many threats, including anthropogenic climate change, modified fire regimes, and disease. Identifying the effects of these processes is crucial for frog conservation, especially in regions where species experience ongoing prescribed fire and chytridiomycosis.

Native and Invasive Crayfish Species Impact on the Development of Fire Salamander Larvae: A Pilot Field Study From Northern Italy

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.

The Role of Experience in the Visual and Non-Visual Prey Recognition of Fire Salamander Populations from Caves and Streams

Diversity
The study of foraging behaviour is crucial for understanding several ecological and adaptive processes, as well as for developing conservation measures. While extensive research has been completed on birds and mammals, few studies have been conducted on ...

Scientific and technical assistance concerning the survival, establishment and spread of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in the EU

EFSA Journal, 2017
A new fungus, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), was identified in wild populations of salamanders in the Netherlands and Belgium, and in kept salamander populations in Germany and the United Kingdom.

Prevalence of the novel amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Europe and its relationship to host richness and density

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Policy implications. These results suggest that conserving salamander species could reduce Bsal transmission and Bsal‐induced salamander population declines. Given that Bsal is a generalist pathogen that will be challenging to eliminate, conserving amphibian diversity should help to reduce Bsal prevalence and loads and thus protect highly susceptible ...

Sedimentary Ancient DNA Tracks Multi‐Kingdom Ecosystem Reorganizations Following Sequential Human Land Use at Crawford Lake

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.

Melanism in salamanders: effects of insularity, sex and size on dorsal colouration in Salamandra salamandra

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 ...

A pattern-based tool for long-term, large-sample capture-mark-recapture studies of fire salamanders Salamandra species (Amphibia: Urodela: Salamandridae)

Acta Herpetologica, 2017
Solid population studies depend on reliable capture-mark-recapture (CMR) methodology. The available methods for such studies on amphibians are often invasive, unsuitable for long-term studies, time-consuming and/or expensive.

Genetic drift and rapid evolution of viviparity in insular fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) [PDF]

Heredity, 2011
Continental islands offer an excellent opportunity to investigate adaptive processes and to time microevolutionary changes that precede macroevolutionary events. We performed a population genetic study of the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra), a species that displays unique intraspecific diversity of reproductive strategies, to address the ...
