- There is no place like home: Larval habitat type and size affect risk‐taking behaviour in fire salamander larvae ( Salamandra salamandra )
Pia Oswald, Benjamin A. Tunnat, Luca G. Hahn et al. · Ethology · 2020-06 · open access
Abstract Individual life histories are strongly influenced by early environmental conditions and experiences. They shape morphology as well as behaviour and can promote adaptive divergence and phenotypic plasticity with regard to different habitat types. The fire salamander ( Salamandra salamandra…
- Patterns of Limb and Epaxial Muscle Activity During Walking in the Fire Salamander, Salamandra salamandra .
Pierce SE, Lamas LP, Pelligand L et al. · Integrative organismal biology (Oxford, England) · 2020-05 · open access
Salamanders and newts (urodeles) are often used as a model system to elucidate the evolution of tetrapod locomotion. Studies range from detailed descriptions of musculoskeletal anatomy and segment kinematics, to bone loading mechanics and inferring central pattern generators. A further area of…
- Do Salamanders Limit the Abundance of Groundwater Invertebrates in Subterranean Habitats?
Raoul Manenti, Enrico Lunghi, Benedetta Barzaghi et al. · Diversity · 2020-04 · open access
Several species of surface salamanders exploit underground environments; in Europe, one of the most common is the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra). In this study, we investigated if fire salamander larvae occurring in groundwater habitats can affect the abundance of some cave-adapted…
- Erratum: The Role of Plasticity and Adaptation in the Incipient Speciation of a Fire Salamander Population (Genes 2019, 10, 875).
Sabino-Pinto J, Goedbloed DJ, Sanchez E et al. · Genes · 2020-04 · open access
In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 5 as published. When summarizing the results in the scheme, the treatment groups were mixed, and so some of the symbols for morphological and gene expression traits were not in accordance with the results [...].

- 'Mainland-island' population structure of a terrestrial salamander in a forest-bocage landscape with little evidence for in situ ecological speciation.
Arntzen JW, van Belkom J · Scientific reports · 2020-02 · open access
Adaptation to different ecological environments can, through divergent selection, generate phenotypic and genetic differences between populations, and eventually give rise to new species. The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) has been proposed to represent an early stage of ecological…
- Herpetofauna diversity in the middle of the Southern Carpathians: data from a recent survey (2016–2018) in Cozia National Park (Romania)
Severus‐Daniel Covaciu‐Marcov, Paula-Vanda Popovici, Alfred-Ştefan Cicort-Lucaciu et al. · eco mont (Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research) · 2020-01 · open access
Herpetofauna is of interest in protected areas because of the large number of protected species. We studied the herpetofauna of Cozia National Park (CNP) between 2016 and 2018. CNP is situated in the central part of the Southern Romanian Carpathians. We recorded 10 species of amphibian (Salamandra…

- A new subspecies of African fire salamander Salamandra algira (Urodela, Salamandridae) from the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco.
Hernandez A, Escoriza D · ZooKeys · 2019-12 · open access
A new subspecies within the Salamandra algira species complex from north-western Africa is described. Previous molecular analysis showed that the populations of S. algira splendens from north-western Morocco consisted of two well supported clades: clade 1 distributed in the Rif Mountains, from…
- The Role of Plasticity and Adaptation in the Incipient Speciation of a Fire Salamander Population.
Sabino-Pinto J, Goedbloed DJ, Sanchez E et al. · Genes · 2019-10 · open access
Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation via genetic change are two major mechanisms of response to dynamic environmental conditions. These mechanisms are not mutually exclusive, since genetic change can establish similar phenotypes to plasticity. This connection between both mechanisms raises…

- Weighing density and kinship: Aggressive behavior and time allocation in fire salamander (Salamandra infraimmaculata).
Berkowic D, Markman S · PloS one · 2019-08 · open access
Kin-biased behavior (that is responding differentially to kin and non-kin) is thought to be adaptive in many social interactions. One example of this kin bias is behaving less aggressively toward a relative than a non-relative, a behavior which yields inclusive fitness benefits. However, data are…
