Microclimatic Growth Rates of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans under Current and Future Climates: A Very High Spatial Resolution SDM for Bsal and Salamandra salamandra (Linnaeus, 1758) within Forest Habitats of the European Hotspot Area

Diversity
Chytridiomycosis is one of the greatest threats to the diversity of amphibians worldwide. Caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), it plays a decisive role in species declines.

Trade network surveillance strategies

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The global success of the wildlife trade industry has led to the emergence of novel pathogens over the past two decades. The introduction of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis to naive amphibian species has been a cause of global population decline and species extinction. A second chytridiomiycosis causing fungus, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat‐dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 11, Page 2322-2334, November 2026.
Conspicuous 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.

When One Matters More: Keystone Niche Individuals Shape Population‐Level Niches in Ectothermic Vertebrates

Journal of Zoology, Volume 330, Issue 2, Page 131-141, October 2026.
The recently proposed concept of Keystone Niche Individuals, that is, individuals that disproportionately influence their population's niche width, provides a framework to explore how individuals shape ecological niches. We applied this framework to a dataset of 482 salamanders across 21 populations and seven taxa to assess the prevalence and ...

Glandular biofluorescence in fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra): first evidence and ecological implications [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
With advances in imaging technologies and the growing availability of specialized lights and cameras, biofluorescence is increasingly recognized as a widespread trait with potential roles in the behavioural ecology of many tetrapods.

Native and Invasive Crayfish Species Impact on the Development of Fire Salamander Larvae: A Pilot Field Study From Northern Italy

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In northern Italy, the ongoing spread of non‐native red‐swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii keeps indirectly decimating native populations of white‐clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes complex and is now also threatening local amphibians adapted to slow‐flowing, hilly streams at the borders of its distribution.

Tardigrades of the Ivohibory forest (south-central Madagascar) with a description of a new Bryodelphax species

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
In this paper, samples of mosses and lichens collected from Ivohibory Forest (south-central Madagascar) were studied in search for tardigrades. In total, 39 tardigrade taxa were identified, 21 of which are new records for Madagascar.

Unraveling the drivers of amphibian community distribution at a lowland–mountain interface: A joint modeling approach

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding how environmental and biotic processes jointly shape species distributions and community composition is a central goal in ecology. Although species distribution models (SDMs) have become essential tools for quantifying environmental drivers of occurrence, their single‐species framework limits inference about interspecific ...
