La sargantana cua-roja, Acanthodactylus erythrurus, encara que ocasionalment pot ingerir matèria vegetal, com flors i fulles, és principalment un insectívor que depreda activament sobre un ampli ventall d’invertebrats, des d’aràcnids fins a caragols i papallones. Les següents fotografies són una mostra de l’activitat alimentària d’aquesta espècie de làcertid, en aquest cas depredant sobre Ocypus olens. Leer más.

We here studied the interaction between olms and B. salamandrivorans. Experimental inoculation of olms resulted in low-level, asymptomatic but persistent infections, with limbs as predilection sites. The lack of exponential fungal growth in the olms’ epidermis correlated with limited fungal proliferation and dampened virulence gene expression after exposure to olm skin compounds. Leer más.
