The complete mitochondrial genome of Salamandra salamandra (Amphibia: Urodela: Salamandridae). [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 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

De novo transcriptome assembly and annotation for gene discovery in Salamandra salamandra at the larval stage [PDF]

Scientific Data, 2023
Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal ...

A near-natural experiment on factors influencing larval drift in Salamandra salamandra [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The larval stage of the European fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) inhabits both lentic and lotic habitats. In the latter, they are constantly exposed to unidirectional water flow, which has been shown to cause downstream drift in a variety of taxa.

The Antioxidant Peptide Salamandrin-I: First Bioactive Peptide Identified from Skin Secretion of Salamandra Genus (Salamandra salamandra) [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2020
Amphibian skin is a multifunctional organ that plays key roles in defense, breathing, and water balance. In this study, skin secretion samples of the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) were separated using RP-HPLC and de novo sequenced using MALDI ...

When aposematism is not enough: Exotic Rattus rattus shows no mercy for carcasses of Salamandra salamandra in insular populations [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Predator–prey interaction is a major force driving natural selection. Yet, the identification of species preying on, or consuming, aposematic species is largely unknown.

Weathering the Storm: Legacies of Extreme Meteorological Events and Daily Weather Variability Shape the Skin Microbiota of the Endangered Golden Alpine Salamander <i>Salamandra atra aurorae</i> (Trevisan, 1982). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In 2018 the Vaia windstorm caused severe damage to much of the woodland habitat of the golden Alpine salamander (Salamandra atra aurorae), an endangered subspecies endemic to the Venetian Prealps, the consequences of which are still being understood. We profiled the bacterial and fungal skin microbiota of 56 golden Alpine salamanders from forest plots ...

Urbanization Shapes Dietary Composition and Snout Morphology of Salamanders. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Clinal Variation in Reproductive Modes and Offspring Body Condition Across a Contact Zone of a Bimodal Viviparous Salamander [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Hybrid zones offer valuable insights into evolutionary processes. In species with bimodal reproduction, hybridization can produce transitional phenotypes that may pinpoint the evolutionary pathways connecting distinct reproductive modes.

Behavioural underpinning of mito-nuclear discordances: insights from fire salamanders [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Mito-nuclear discordances across secondary contact zones have been described in a wide range of organisms. They consist of a spatial mismatch between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in terms of location and extension of the contact zone between ...
