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 ...

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 ...

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

ABSTRACT Aims The American Diabetes Association recommends achieving treatment goals (glycated haemoglobin ≤ 53 mmol/mol [7.0%], blood pressure < 130/80 mmHg, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol < 1.81 mmol/L and use of sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors or glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists), to reduce cardiovascular and kidney ...

Filogenia molecular y revisión taxonómica de las salamandras Bolitoglossa altamazonica y B. peruviana (Caudata: Plethodontidae) de Perú [PDF]
En este estudio, se examinan las relaciones filogenéticas entre las salamandras del género Bolitoglossa (Eladinea) distribuidas en la cuenca Amazónica del norte de Perú y sur de Ecuador, y se evalúa la diversidad de especies en base a los análisis ...

Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Urbanization Shapes Dietary Composition and Snout Morphology of Salamanders
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 ...

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for
