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 ...

Skin Colour in Salamanders Is Modulated by Both Epitranscriptomic Methylation and Gene Expression. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Animal colouration is a key trait in organismal biology, being involved in natural and sexual selection, competition, and communication. Amphibians use their highly diverse colouration in many ecological interactions, but the molecular bases of their colour variation are less well understood than in other vertebrate systems. While the genetic,

Two new species of the genus Milnesium Doyère, 1840 (Tardigrada, Apochela, Milnesiidae) from Madagascar [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
The knowledge of the diversity and distribution of tardigrades on Madagascar is rather poor. To date, only 13 tardigrade taxa have been reported from this region (including one Milnesium species).

Gonadal Development in Larvae of the Paedomorphic Ambystoma mexicanum (Amphibia: Urodela). [PDF]

J Morphol
This research analyzes the gonads of Ambystoma mexicanum larvae of both sexes, revealing significant changes such as the onset of vitellogenesis in females at 9 months of age and oocytes with signs of maturity at 12 months. In males, gonadal maturity occurs earlier, with a notable cephalocaudal and lateromedial testicular regionalization, and ...

Integrative description of Macrobiotus porifini sp. nov. (Macrobiotidae) from Madagascar and its phylogenetic position within the hufelandi group

The European Zoological Journal, 2021
In this paper we applied an integrative taxonomy approach to describe a new tardigrade species from Madagascar. The description is based on morphological and morphometric data (using both light and scanning electron microscopy), combined with genetic ...

COI Metabarcoding Provides Insights into the Highly Diverse Diet of a Generalist Salamander, Salamandra salamandra (Caudata: Salamandridae)

Diversity, 2022
DNA metabarcoding has proven to be an accessible, cost-effective, and non-invasive tool for dietary analysis of predators in situ. Although DNA metabarcoding provides numerous benefits in characterizing diet—such as detecting prey animals that are ...
