Infestation dynamics of Hygrobates (sg. Lurchibates) aloisii (Acari: Hygrobatidae) and host-parasite interactions with Hong Kong newts (Paramesotriton hongkongensis) [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeVarious species of water mites (Hydrachnidia, Hygrobatidae, Hygrobates) exclusively parasitise Asian modern newts. These water mites, grouped into the subgenus Lurchibates, are evolutionarily unique as they are the only ectoparasitic water mites of ...

The inbred newt genome unveils molecular mechanisms of behavior, development, and regeneration in urodele amphibians [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Salamanders provide excellent models for studying vertebrate evolution, development, and regeneration. To further advance the newt as a model organism in biology, we conducted draft genome sequencing of 20 Gb of an inbred newt (Pleurodeles waltl)

Breeding site traits of European newts (Triturus macedonicus, Lissotriton vulgaris, and Mesotriton alpestris: Salamandridae) in the Montenegrin karst region [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008 We recorded the occurrence of three European newt species - the smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris), the eastern alpine crested newt (Triturus macedonicus), and the alpine newt (Mesotriton alpestris) - in the Montenegrin karst, as well as their breeding ...

Evidence for paedomorphosis in Macedonian crested newt (Triturus macedonicus) from Montenegro [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015 One of the most interesting heterochronic processes in the European newt (genus Triturus) is paedomorphosis, a phenomenon of attaining reproductive maturity while retaining larval features. However, paedomorphosis seems to be rare in the crested
