Consistency in trophic strategies between populations of the Sardinian endemic salamander Speleomantes imperialis [PDF]
, 2017 The study of trophic ecology of terrestrial salamanders is central for a better understanding of their adaptability and dispersal, in particular in Mediterranean ecosystems where their feeding activity is reduced because of prolonged arid periods ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Salamandra salamandra (Amphibia: Urodela: Salamandridae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016 The complete mitochondrial genome of Salamandra salamandra was reconstructed using bycatch sequences from an RNAseq library generated from muscle tissue. This study shows the potential of using data originally produced for transcriptome assembly to additionally generate complete mitochondrial genomes. The resulting mitogenome was circular, consisted of

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Chemical Interference: A Review on Endocrine Disruptors and Reproductive Communication in Amphibians
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Amphibians are particularly susceptible to anthropogenic pollution. This paper reviews how endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs) affect their mating behavior, noting significant research gaps in understanding these impacts. Further studies are crucial to grasp EDCs' effects on amphibian reproduction and population dynamics.
