Functional and Morphological Variety in Trunk Muscles of Urodela
Trunk musculature in Urodela species varies by habitat. In this study, trunk musculature was examined in five species of adult salamanders representing three different habitats: aquatic species, Amphiuma tridactylum and Necturus maculosus; semi-aquatic species, Cynops pyrrhogaster; terrestrial species, Hynobius nigrescens and Ambystoma tigrinum.

The annual number of breeding adults and the effective population size of syntopic newts (Triturus cristatus, T-marmoratus) [PDF]
Pond-breeding amphibians are deme-structured organisms with a population genetic structure particularly susceptible to demographic threats. We estimated the effective number of breeding adults (N-b) and the effective population size (N-e) of the European

In this study, we use the urodele Salamandra salamandra as a study model to apply an analytical approach for extracting and quantifying colour proportions and patterns variation, using the recently developed R packages patternize and recolorize, to accurately describe and compare colour distribution at both taxonomic and habitat levels.

Age determination by skeletochronology of the Japanese salamander Hynobius kimurae (Amphibia, Urodela) [PDF]
We investigated lines of arrested growth (LAG) of long bone tissues in a total of 157 salamanders of Hynobius kimurae from Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan. The number of LAGs did not differ between femurs, humeri, and toe phalanges. We found that the first LAG is

Forecasting potential invaders to prevent future biological invasions worldwide
We developed a reliable, robust and defensible tool that can identify attributes of invading alien species and predict which species worldwide, with no prior history of invasion, have the potential to become invasive. Showcasing our tool on amphibians and reptiles worldwide, we found 160 species are likely to be unintentionally transported and ...

Sex determination systems have greatly diversified between amphibians and reptiles. In this review, we discuss the diversity of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles resulted from comparative analyses of chromosome homology of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles reported so far, using the genome of the chicken, which is thought to resemble ...
