Determinants of genetic diversity in Neotropical salamanders (Plethodontidae: Bolitoglossini) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Genetic diversity is the raw material of evolution, yet the reasons why it varies among species remain poorly understood. While studies at deeper phylogenetic scales point to the influence of life history traits on genetic diversity, it appears to be ...

Patterns of Natural Selection on Mitochondrial Protein-Coding Genes in Lungless Salamanders: Relaxed Purifying Selection and Presence of Positively Selected Codon Sites in the Family Plethodontidae [PDF]
International Journal of Genomics, 2021 There are two distinct lungless groups in caudate amphibians (salamanders and newts) (the family Plethodontidae and the genus Onychodactylus, from the family Hynobiidae).

Development of genomic markers for monitoring and research on plethodontid salamanders. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDespite the importance of plethodontid salamanders and their vulnerability to ongoing environmental change, they are inherently difficult to monitor due to their cryptic nature. Recent advances in genomics have created new opportunities for monitoring of

Recent Advances in the Behavioral Ecology of European Plethodontid Salamanders [PDF]
Animals, 2023 There is a recent growing interest in the study of evolutionary and behavioral ecology of amphibians. Among salamanders, Plethodontidae is the most speciose family, with more than 500 species, while in Europe, there are only 8 species, all belonging to ...
