Salamandra salamandra unigenes

, 2023
Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that ...

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 ...

Prevalence of the novel amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Europe and its relationship to host richness and density

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Policy implications. These results suggest that conserving salamander species could reduce Bsal transmission and Bsal‐induced salamander population declines. Given that Bsal is a generalist pathogen that will be challenging to eliminate, conserving amphibian diversity should help to reduce Bsal prevalence and loads and thus protect highly susceptible ...

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.

Melanism in salamanders: effects of insularity, sex and size on dorsal colouration in Salamandra salamandra

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 4, Page 340-352, August 2026.
In this study we tested the effects of insularity on amphibian colouration using the fire salamander as a model system. Although increased melanism was not a consistent pattern across all islands, salamanders from one island exhibited higher proportions of black pigmentation than mainland populations, while insular populations overall showed reduced ...

The identity of Proteus tritonius Laurenti, 1768: comments on a really doubtful case of literary interpretation [PDF]

Herpetozoa
Proteus tritonius Laurenti, 1768 has long been regarded as the larva of Triton alpestris Laurenti, 1768. It is the type species of Ichthyosaura Sonnini & Latreille, 1801, the oldest available generic name for the Alpine newt, Triton being ...

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 2013 ignited a large ...

When aposematism is not enough: Exotic Rattus rattus shows no mercy for carcasses of Salamandra salamandra in insular populations vs. Salamandra salamandra - videos

, 2023
Predator-prey interaction is a major force driving natural selection. Yet, the effect of possible predators on aposematic species is largely unknown. Islands constitute excellent natural laboratories to investigate predator-prey coevolution due to their ...

A New Disease Caused by an Unidentified Etiological Agent Affects European Salamanders

Animals, 2022
New pathologies are causing dramatic declines and extinctions of multiple amphibian species. In 2013, in one fire salamander population of Northern Italy, we found individuals with undescribed cysts at the throat level, a malady whose existence has not ...
