NewtCap: An Efficient Target Capture Approach to Boost Genomic Studies in Salamandridae (True Salamanders and Newts) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Salamanders have large and complex genomes, hampering whole genome sequencing. However, reduced representation sequencing provides a feasible alternative to obtain genome‐wide data. We present NewtCap: a sequence capture bait set that targets c.

The genome sequence of the great crested newt, Triturus cristatus (Laurenti, 1768) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Triturus cristatus (great crested newt; Chordata; Amphibia; Caudata; Salamandridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 22,324.62 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.78%) is scaffolded into 12

A New Species of Pachytriton (Amphibia: Caudata: Salamandridae) from Anhui, China [PDF]

Animals
China is a global hotspot for amphibian biodiversity, yet under-explored montane regions harbor undiscovered cryptic species. Using integrative taxonomy, we describe a new salamandrid species, Pachytriton cheni sp. nov., from Qingliangfeng Nature Reserve,

Infestation dynamics of Hygrobates (sg. Lurchibates) aloisii (Acari: Hygrobatidae) and host-parasite interactions with Hong Kong newts (Paramesotriton hongkongensis) [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Various species of water mites (Hydrachnidia, Hygrobatidae, Hygrobates) exclusively parasitise Asian modern newts. These water mites, grouped into the subgenus Lurchibates, are evolutionarily unique as they are the only ectoparasitic water mites of ...

A skin secretion metabolome analysis of the Greek Dodecanese Lycian salamanders: Preliminary evidence of dietary alkaloid sequestration in urodeles. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Lyciasalamandra species, like most amphibians, secrete a wide array of compounds from their granular and mucous skin glands, including the internally synthesized samandarine alkaloids, making their skin a complex organ performing a variety of functions ...
