Moderate salinity (4 g l−1) altered embryonic and larval development in both populations, causing increased malformations, decreased body size and survival, and altered behavior, but did not affect telomere length or oxidative status.  Leer más.

Now, a new, first-of-its-kind study offers powerful evidence that a simple intervention—wildlife underpass tunnels—can dramatically reduce these amphibian deaths and help preserve ecosystems. Leer más.

Amphibians are the most globally threatened vertebrates, facing a particularly high risk of extinction in some regions, such as the Mediterranean basin. Within this region, the genus Salamandrina, comprising two species of notable conservation concerns, managed to persist throughout historical climate changes exclusively along the Italian peninsula.

This introduction highlights the role of international trade in facilitating the spread of non-native species, posing potential risks such as hybridization with local populations. Leer más.
