Vital fluorescent staining for non–destructive studies of neuromast topography in urodele amphibians
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2018 Neuromasts are mechanosensory organs found in primarily aquatic vertebrates, including many species of amphibians, and are arranged as specific patterns to form the lateral-line system on the head and along the body.

Spatial distribution and seasonal movement patterns of reintroduced Chinese giant salamanders
BMC Zoology, 2019 Background Very little is known about the temporal or spatial movement patterns of Chinese giant salamanders (Andrias davidianus) due to their rarity, remote habitat and secretive nature. Commercial breeding farms provide a unique opportunity as a source

Risk of survival, establishment and spread of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in the EU
EFSA Journal, 2018 Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is an emerging fungal pathogen of salamanders. Despite limited surveillance, Bsal was detected in kept salamanders populations in Belgium, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and in wild ...
