- Calour: an Interactive, Microbe-Centric Analysis Tool.
Xu ZZ, Amir A, Sanders J et al. · mSystems · 2019-01 · open access
Microbiome analyses can be challenging because microbial strains are numerous, and often, confounding factors in the data set are also numerous. Many tools reduce, summarize, and visualize these high-dimensional data to provide insight at the community level. However, they lose the detailed…
- Think of what lies below, not only of what is visible above, or: a comprehensive zoological study of invertebrate communities of spring habitats
Raoul Manenti, Enrico Pezzoli · The European Zoological Journal · 2019-01 · open access
Springs are interface habitats between the surface and subterranean environments, often neglected by zoological studies and generally regarded only from a surface perspective. Springs are also often collected and managed by humans: catching buildings that collect spring water may provide an…

Anna Najbar, Agnieszka Konowalik, Bartłomiej Najbar et al. · Acta Herpetologica · 2018-12 · open access
We analysed variation of dorsal yellow patterns in 2077 individuals that represented 23 populations from the northern parts of the Sudetes and the Carpathian Mountains. We distinguished four types of yellow patterns: spotted (50.1%), spotted-and-striped (42.8%), zig-zag (5.8%), and striped (1.3%).…

Dinis M, Merabet K, Martínez-Freiría F et al. · Molecular phylogenetics and evolution · 2018-10 · open access
North Africa is a climatically and topographically complex region with unique biotic assemblages resulting from the combination of multiple biogeographic realms. Here, we assess the role of climate in promoting intra-specific diversification in a Palearctic relict, the North African fire…
- Epidemiological tracing of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans identifies widespread infection and associated mortalities in private amphibian collections.
Fitzpatrick LD, Pasmans F, Martel A et al. · Scientific reports · 2018-09 · open access
Introduction Emerging infectious diseases pose a substantial threat to global biodiversity, causing population declines, and even species extinctions, across a range of taxa. The amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ( Bsal ) is a current example of this, being the putative…

Bletz MC, Kelly M, Sabino-Pinto J et al. · Proceedings. Biological sciences · 2018-08
- Asymptomatic infection of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in captivity.
Sabino-Pinto J, Veith M, Vences M et al. · Scientific reports · 2018-08 · open access
Introduction Modern amphibians (Lissamphibia), the oldest class of extant tetrapods, have inhabited Earth since the Triassic and have survived several of the major mass extinction events. However, they are presently one of the animal groups most threatened with extinction,. In 2017, the Global…
- Long-term effects of arrested metamorphosis on dental systems in Salamandra salamandra (Salamandridae: Urodela)
Günter Clemen, Hartmut Greven · Vertebrate Zoology · 2018-07 · open access
We describe the dental systems of six larvae of Salamandra salamandra hypophysectomized in 1976 under an earlier project to arrest metamorphosis. Larvae cover roughly three developmental stages from early (intrauterine) larval stage to early metamorphosis. Animals survived surgery and lived up to…
- Skin mucosome activity as an indicator of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans susceptibility in salamanders.
Smith HK, Pasmans F, Dhaenens M et al. · PloS one · 2018-07 · open access
Introduction Wildlife diseases are an increasing threat to biodiversity. Over the last two decades amphibian populations have declined due to recently emerged diseases. Among them, fungal pathogens, such as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (hereafter Bd ) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans…

Spitzen-van der Sluijs A, Stegen G, Bogaerts S et al. · Scientific reports · 2018-02 · open access
Introduction Emerging infectious disease of wildlife are a leading cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. Because successful mitigation of epizootics remains extremely challenging, most recommended strategies for controlling disease impacts focus on creative local, context-specific solutions that…
- Effects of diet quality on morphology and intraspecific competition ability during development: the case of fire salamander larvae
Raoul Manenti, L. Perreau, Gentile Francesco Ficetola et al. · The European Zoological Journal · 2018-01 · open access
The environmental conditions of the habitats in which organisms live may induce a variety of plastic adaptive responses for numerous developmental, behavioural and morphological traits. One of the most relevant environmental features is the amount of available food occurring in a certain habitat.…

Raoul Manenti, Enrico Lunghi, Gentile Francesco Ficetola · Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography · 2017-11 · open access
The fire salamander ( Salamandra salamandra ) is a relatively common epigean amphibian, widely distributed throughout Europe, which usually gives birth to aquatic larvae. Even if epigean streams represent the most common places in which the species breeds, in some countries caves with underground…
