Seasonal and Annual Survival of the SalamanderSalamandra salamandra salamandra [PDF]
Journal of Herpetology, 2014 Abstract Survival is an important component of population growth rate. We use data from a 9-yr mark-recapture study to estimate annual and monthly survival probabilities of adult salamanders (Salamandra salamandra). Monthly survival probability was 0.98–0.99 and did not differ between summer and winter. Annual survival probability was 0.86.

Heterochrony, cannibalism, and the evolution of viviparity in Salamandra salamandra [PDF]
Evolution & Development, 2007 SUMMARY The way in which novelties that lead to macroevolutionary events originate is a major question in evolutionary biology, and one that can be addressed using the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) as a model system. It is exceptional among amphibians in displaying intraspecific diversity of reproductive strategies. In S.

Reliability of the post-hoc measurement on Salamandra salamandra.
, 2021 The reliability of the post hoc measurement, a non-invasive method for measuring wild animals, was tested on Salamandra salamandra. Our results show that SVL measured in the field was lower than SVL estimated from images by three operators and that the estimates were highly consistent.

Cultures of Skin Fragments of Salamandra salamandra salamandra (L.) Larvae
Pigment Cell Research, 1998 As part of a study on the pigmentary system of Salamandra salamandra salamandra (L.), we cultured skin fragments of 7–10‐day‐old larvae in order to examine the expression of molecules implicated in cellular adhesion and migration and in regulating cell‐cell relationships. Keratinocytes, fibroblasts, Leydig cells, xanthophores, and melanophores migrated

The complete mitochondrial genome of Salamandra salamandra (Amphibia: Urodela: Salamandridae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016 The complete mitochondrial genome of Salamandra salamandra was reconstructed using bycatch sequences from an RNAseq library generated from muscle tissue. This study shows the potential of using data originally produced for transcriptome assembly to additionally generate complete mitochondrial genomes. The resulting mitogenome was circular, consisted of

Tissue and Cell, 1997 In the present study we set out to investigate the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, beta 1-integrin, fibronectin and vitronectin in the mitochondria-rich cells (MRC) of the skin of Salamandra salamandra salamandra. Moreover MRC were stained with five lectins (Triticum vulgaris; Dolichos biflorus; Glycine max; Arachis hypogaea and Canavalia ...

Comparative Morphology and Mechanics of Aquatic and Terrestrial Feeding Salamanders. [PDF]
J MorpholJaw muscle size, bite force, and skull strength are driven by multiple factors, not just the difference between the two habitats. Necturus produces higher bite forces than Salamandra, but the stress distribution is less even in Necturus, suggesting Salamandra's skull shape is better adapated to resist feeding loads.

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat-dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes. [PDF]
J Anim EcolConspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

Urbanization Shapes Dietary Composition and Snout Morphology of Salamanders. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Urbanization rapidly alters landscapes, generating habitat mosaics characterized by increased impervious surface, reduced soil moisture and diminished vegetation cover. These recurring urban environmental features are expected to reduce community diversity, favouring urban‐tolerant species, thereby promoting urban biotic homogenization ...
