Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of a chytrid fungus infection involved in the decline of the common midwife toad (Alytes obstetricans) in protected areas of central Spain
TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopy and histological techniques revealed the presence of a chytridiomycosis infection in the skin of the toads, providing evidence that supports chy TRD as the most plausible cause of the decline of the species in the area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeography of two European newt species — discordance between mtDNA and morphology
Wiesław Babik,Wojciech Branicki,Jelka Crnobrnja-Isailović,Dan Cogălniceanu,I. Sas,Kurtuluş Olgun,Nikolay A. Poyarkov,Mario García-París,Jan W. Arntzen +8 more
TL;DR: Patterns of sequence variation within clades suggested long‐term demographic stability in the southern groups, moderate and relatively old demographic growth in the populations inhabiting central Europe, and high growth in some of the groups that colonized northern parts of Europe after the last glacial maximum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersal of viviparity across contact zones in Iberian populations of fire salamanders (Salamandra) inferred from discordance of genetic and morphological traits.
TL;DR: It is concluded that viviparity likely arose only once within S. salamandra and a combination of range shifts due to climatic fluctuations and biased genetic admixture across moving contact zones fits a model of mtDNA capture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic history underlies elevational biodiversity patterns in tropical salamanders
TL;DR: This work addresses the evolutionary causes of the mid-elevational diversity hump in the most species-rich clade of salamanders, the tropical bolitoglossine plethodontids, and presents a new phylogeny for the group based on DNA sequences from all 13 genera and 137 species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity of Costa Rican salamanders: Implications of high levels of genetic differentiation and phylogeographic structure for species formation
TL;DR: In their degree of genetic differentiation at a local scale, these species of the deep tropics exceed the known variation of extratropical salamanders, which also differ in being less restricted in elevational range.
