- New data regarding the distribution and status of the herpetofauna from urban and peri-urban habitats in the city of Pitești, Argeș county (Romania)
Ionuț-Cătălin Petreanu · Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa” · 2023-12 · open access
Identifying urban and peri-urban areas inhabited by species of reptiles and amphibians represents the first step in understanding how herpetofauna can adapt to anthropogenic factors. This is particularly true for regions where sampling biases have left significant gaps in our knowledge of fauna…

- Sit-and-wait foraging is not enough in food-deprived environments: evidence from groundwater and salamanders
Raoul Manenti, Lodovica Vinci, Benedetta Barzaghi et al. · Animal Behaviour · 2023-12 · open access
Foraging strategies are fundamental traits that characterize predators, with strong differences between sit-and-wait predators and active-searching predators. Optimal foraging theory predicts that environmental conditions affect the efficiency of these strategies, with active predators being…

- Food and light availability induce plastic responses in fire salamander larvae from contrasting environments.
Băncilă RI, Stănescu F, Plăiaşu R et al. · PeerJ · 2023-10 · open access
Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as a mechanism facilitating the colonisation and adaptation to novel environments, such as caves. However, phenotypic plasticity in subterranean environments remains largely unexplored. Here, we test for plasticity in growth and development of fire salamander…

- Landscape of fear in freshwater ecotones: How predation risk and light conditions affect mesopredator activity and foraging in springs
Raoul Manenti, Martina Forlani, Stefano Lapadula et al. · Freshwater Biology · 2023-07 · open access
Abstract Springs are environments that can provide general insights into factors favouring diversity in ecotones, but they are often neglected in freshwater studies. One of the challenging processes acting in ecotones is the landscape of fear (LOF), the space–time variation of perceived predation…

- Longevity in salamandrid newts – a rule, not an exception? Verified cases of Japanese Fire-bellied Newts (Cynops pyrrhogaster) reaching a lifespan of more than 40 years
Jörn Köhler, Matt Gage, Henry Janssen et al. · Revue suisse de zoologie · 2023-04 · open access
We report on verified cases of longevity in the Japanese Fire-bellied Newt Cynops pyrrhogaster. Two individuals obtained as adults in 1978 died in July 2008 and November 2017, resulting in an individual minimum lifespan of 33 and 42 years, respectively, possibly even longer. Another four…

- Habitat connectivity supports the local abundance of fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) but also the spread of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans
Leonard Bolte, Forough Goudarzi, Reinhard Klenke et al. · Landscape Ecology · 2023-03 · open access
Abstract Context Habitat connectivity can stabilise animal populations by facilitating immigration and genetic exchange, but it increases the risk of infectious diseases being spread by hosts. Chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) threatens European salamander…

- Threats of the emerging pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) to Italian wild salamander populations
Lorenzo Dondero, Giorgia Allaria, Giacomo Rosa et al. · Acta Herpetologica · 2023-01 · open access
The salamander killing fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), recently introduced from Asia, is threatening salamander populations in different parts of Europe. In fact, this pathogen is rapidly spreading in Central Europe and has been also introduced into NE Spain. Of special concern are…

- Behavioural responses to chemical cues of predators differ between fire salamander larvae from two different habitats
Luca G. Hahn, Pia Oswald, Barbara A. Caspers · Journal of Zoology · 2022-12 · open access
Abstract Predation is one of the strongest selection pressures, forcing prey organisms to detect predators and to display various antipredator behaviours, such as refuge-use or decreased activity. To recognise predators, chemosensory cues play a pivotal role, particularly in aquatic ecosystems.…
