Assessing potential collateral effects on amphibians from insecticide applications for flea control and plague mitigation. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIdeal disease mitigation measures for wildlife are safe and benign for target species, non-target organisms, the environment, and humans. Identifying collateral (i.e., unintended) effects is a key consideration in implementing such actions.

A relict stem salamander: Evidence from the Early Cretaceous of Siberia [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The early evolution of salamanders, which are one of the three living groups of lissamphibians, is not well known. Both stem- and crown-group salamanders first appeared in the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian), but subsequently had different evolutionary ...

Amphibian Skin and Skin Secretion: An Exotic Source of Bioactive Peptides and Its Application
Foods, 2023 Amphibians have been consumed as an alternative protein source all around the world due to their delicacy. The skin of edible amphibians, particularly frogs and giant salamanders, always goes to waste without further utilization.

Population genomic analyses support sympatric origins of parapatric morphs in a salamander
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In numerous clades, divergent sister species have largely non‐overlapping geographic ranges. This pattern presumably arises because species diverged in allopatry or parapatry, prior to a subsequent contact.
