The PETM is, therefore, the main driving event leading to the first radiation of the Salamandridae, ultimately ending up being the most diverse extant clade of Palearctic salamanders. Leer más.





En esta nota describimos el primer caso de consumo de salamandra común (Salamandra salamandra) por ratón de campo (Apodemus sylvaticus). En noviembre de 2024 encontramos varios cadáveres de salamandra en un muestreo diurno en la isla de Tambo (ría de Pontevedra, SO Galicia, España), con heridas en la parte ventral compatibles con mordiscos.

By integrating genomic, geographic, and paleoclimatic data, this study provides an in-depth understanding of how climate shaped the evolutionary history of this temperate species and reinforces the importance of waterways for amphibian dispersal dynamics. Leer más.
We found that independent transitions from larviparity to pueriparity are consistently associated with ecological differentiation driven primarily by steep topography and karstic geology. Leer más.
Here, we compared macroscale patterns of morphological diversification between two geographically separated evolutionary radiations of widespread frogs to assess how morphological diversity has arisen and tested whether distinct ecogeographical rules operate at broad spatial scales. Leer más.
