- Diet diversity and environment determine the intestinal microbiome and bacterial pathogen load of fire salamanders.
Wang Y, Smith HK, Goossens E et al. · Scientific reports · 2021-10 · open access
Introduction The digestive system of vertebrates is home to a dynamic microbiome,, which forms a ubiquitous and complex symbiotic relationship with their host. This symbiosis has long been known to support the production of vitamins, the chemical processing of indigestible chyme components by…
- Connectivity of Alpine newt populations (Ichthyosaura alpestris) exacerbates the risk of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans outbreaks in European fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra)
Beninde J, Keltsch F, Veith M et al. · Conserv Genet · 2021-08 · open access
The pathogenic chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) was introduced from Asia to Europe, most likely via the pet trade. It is currently causing a severe local decline in populations of the European fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra). Laboratory tests confirmed that all…
- Potential changes in the distributions of Near Eastern fire salamander (Salamandra infraimmaculata) in response to historical, recent and future climate change in the Near and Middle East: Implication for conservation and management
Somaye Vaissi · Global Ecology and Conservation · 2021-07 · open access
Climate change has a significant impact on the distribution of species over time. In response, species may shift, contract, extend or fragment their distributions to track preferred environmental conditions. This study aims to track the recent (1970–2000), Quaternary (Last Glacial Maximum (LGM): 21…

- Landscape resistance constrains hybridization across contact zones in a reproductively and morphologically polymorphic salamander.
Velo-Antón G, Lourenço A, Lourenço A et al. · Scientific reports · 2021-04 · open access
Explicitly accounting for phenotypic differentiation together with environmental heterogeneity is crucial to understand the evolutionary dynamics in hybrid zones. Species showing intra-specific variation in phenotypic traits that meet across environmentally heterogeneous regions constitute…

- Demography and spatial activity of fire salamanders, Salamandra salamandra (Linnaeus, 1758), in two contrasting habitats in the Vienna Woods
Stephan Burgstaller, Christoph Leeb, Max Ringler et al. · Herpetozoa · 2021-02 · open access
Understanding population dynamics is vital in amphibian conservation. To compare demography and movements, we conducted a capture-recapture study over three spring seasons in two populations ofSalamandra salamandrain the Vienna Woods. The study sites differ in topography, vegetation, and the type…

- A case of color aberration in a fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) larva
Sabina Elena Vlad, Dan Cogălniceanu, Raluca Ioana Băncilă et al. · Herpetozoa · 2020-12 · open access
Color aberrations in salamanders are caused by defective chromatophores or by disrupted synthesis of the pigments, and have been previously reported in Europe. In this paper we report the first case of leucism in a fire salamander larva from a cave-dwelling population in Romania. The leucistic…
- Presence of low virulence chytrid fungi could protect European amphibians from more deadly strains.
Greener MS, Verbrugghe E, Kelly M et al. · Nature communications · 2020-10 · open access
Introduction Global invasion by highly virulent chytrid fungi has resulted in the most extensive disease-driven loss of biodiversity ever recorded, with the decline of 500 amphibian species worldwide,2. The skin disease chytridiomycosis is caused by two fungal species, Batrachochytrium…

- The evolution of pueriparity maintains multiple paternity in a polymorphic viviparous salamander.
Alarcón-Ríos L, Nicieza AG, Lourenço A et al. · Scientific reports · 2020-09 · open access
The reduction in fecundity associated with the evolution of viviparity may have far-reaching implications for the ecology, demography, and evolution of populations. The evolution of a polygamous behaviour (e.g. polyandry) may counteract some of the effects underlying a lower fecundity, such as the…

Sara Peixoto, Cátia Chaves, Guillermo Velo‐Antón et al. · Environmental DNA · 2020-08 · open access
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used for biodiversity monitoring, particularly in aquatic systems. However, each step, from sample collection to bioinformatic analysis, can introduce biases and influence the reliability of results. While much effort has been put into the…
