Genetic Differentiation in Salamanders of the Desmognathus ochrophaeus Complex (Plethodontidae) [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1978
Much biosystematic practice rests on the assumption that phenetic resemblances among populations and higher taxa reflect underlying genetic similarities. Through electrophoresis, it is now possible to measure genetic affinities among populations and species, using a variety of coefficients that quantify similarity across loci (Rogers, 1972; Nei, 1972).

Disentangling the interrelations of body mass, egg deposition site, climate and microhabitat use in frogs and salamanders

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Amphibians exhibit a large diversity in reproductive and developmental strategies, which in turn are linked to their body size, life history and habitat. Here, we explore why terrestrial egg laying frogs are on average smaller than aquatic egg laying ones and whether this pattern also exists in salamanders.

Out of sight, out of mind: Fine‐scale measurements reveal microclimate heterogeneity for plethodontid salamanders

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Small‐bodied species comprise the bulk of global biodiversity, yet the environmental conditions to which they are exposed are poorly understood. The resulting knowledge gap is notable for ectothermic plethodontid (Family Plethodontidae) salamanders that are highly sensitive to fine‐scale microclimate (i.e., thermal and hydric) variation ...

Complete metamorphosis promotes morphological and functional diversity in Caudata

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1732-1747, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Metamorphosis, a common and spectacular developmental process, involves major phenotypic changes often linked to environmental transitions. Understanding how these changes affect morphological evolution is crucial for examining metamorphosis's evolutionary impacts.

Mandibular Dentition in Six Species of Salamanders, genus Plethodon (Caudata: Plethontidae), from Arkansas Using Scanning Electron Microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The mandibular (dentary) dentition of six species of Plethodon (P. caddoensis, P. dorsalis, P. fourchensis, P. glutinosus, P. ouachitae, and P. serratus) from Arkansas was studied using scanning electron microscopy.

Taxonomic revision of black salamanders of the Aneides flavipunctatus complex (Caudata: Plethodontidae) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
We present a taxonomic revision of the black salamander (Aneides flavipunctatus) complex of northwestern California and extreme southeastern Oregon. The revision is based on a number of published works as well as new molecular and morphological data ...
