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 Wildlife
Various 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]

iScience
Summary: 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)

Integral chain management of wildlife diseases [PDF]

, 2019
The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused the most prominent loss of vertebrate diversity ever recorded, which peaked in the 1980s. Recent incursion by its sister species B. salamandrivorans in Europe raised the alarm for a new wave of

Post-fire species composition and abundance of a lentic-breeding amphibian assemblage: case study of Ledson Marsh

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2020
Amphibians frequently inhabit wildfire-prone environments, but little is known how amphibians respond to fire. This study assessed the post-wildfire species composition and abundance of an amphibian assemblage in an 11.8-ha seasonal marsh. Pre-fire, four
