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.

Hybridization and extensive mitochondrial introgression among fire salamanders in peninsular Italy [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
Discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear patterns of population genetic structure is providing key insights into the eco-evolutionary dynamics between and within species, and their assessment is highly relevant to biodiversity monitoring practices ...

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.

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

Citizen science data reveals widespread sexual dichromatism in the European fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Conspicuous color patterns are traditionally believed to advertise the toxicity of prey to potential predators. However, many aposematic species show drastic variation in coloration, indicating the possibility of other functions of coloration ...

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 ...
