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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Phylogenomic inference of species and subspecies diversity in the Palearctic salamander genus Salamandra [PDF]

, 2021
The salamander genus Salamandra is widespread across Europe, North Africa, and the Near East and is renowned for its conspicuous and polymorphic colouration and diversity of reproductive modes.

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 ...

Yellow patterns polymorphism of the fire salamander Salamandra salamandra in Poland

Acta Herpetologica, 2018
We analysed variation of dorsal yellow patterns in 2077 individuals that represented 23 populations from the northern parts of the Sudetes and the Carpathian Mountains. We distinguished four types of yellow patterns: spotted (50.1%), spotted-and-striped (

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 ...
