Abundance of montane salamanders over an elevational gradient
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Climate change is expected to systematically alter the distribution and population dynamics of species around the world. The effects are expected to be particularly strong at high latitudes and elevations, and for ectothermic species with small ranges ...

Evidence of tail autotomy in the European plethodontid Hydromantes (Atylodes) genei (Temmick and Schlegel, 1838) (Amphibia: Urodela: Plethodontidae) [PDF]
, 2010 7 páginas, 1 figura.Caudal autotomy is a defensive mechanism widely adopted by lungless salamanders (Plethodontidae) from the New World. In contrast, in Europe, this mechanism was not described until very recently for just one Sardinian species ...

Acta Zoologica, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 450-470, October 2024.Abstract Urodele amphibians possess remarkable regenerative abilities, allowing them to rebuild lost body parts. Contrary to lizards, salamanders can fully restore their tails, including the neural spine and components of the vertebral column. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the vertebrate model organism for regeneration research due to its ease ...

The evolution of larvae in temnospondyls and the stepwise origin of amphibian metamorphosis
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1613-1637, October 2024.ABSTRACT The question of what the ancient life cycle of tetrapods was like forms a key component in understanding the origin of land vertebrates. The existence of distinct larval forms, as exemplified by many lissamphibians, and their transformation into adults is an important aspect in this field.

Traversing the Great Lakes: Post‐glacial colonization by a widespread terrestrial salamander
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 10, Page 1864-1879, October 2024.Abstract Aims Glacial retreat at the end of the Pleistocene epoch opened vast expanses of emergent habitat in the northern hemisphere that were colonized by opportunistic taxa. However, species that undergo post‐glacial expansion may have originated from one or several glacial refugia.
