Israel is home to two species of amphibians belonging to distinct genera: Salamandra and Ommatotriton. They inhabit various regions, sometimes coexisting and in other instances dwelling separately across different are...
The present study describes the different color-pattern phenotypes of yellow spots on the black back of Salamandra infraimmaculata in various habitats at the southern border of its distribution in Israel. At Tel Dan, ...

A deeper phylogeographic structure is expected for slow-dispersing habitat specialists compared to widespread adaptable species,especially in topographically complex regions.We tested this classic assumption by compar...

Amphibians produce defensive chemicals which provide protection against both predators and infections.Within species,populations can differ considerably in the composition and amount of these chemical defenses.Studyin...
Numerous amphibian species occupy microhabitats with buffered thermal and moisture conditions,typically under forest canopies.Here,we assessed whether the insular endemic Salamandra corsica also uses this type of habi...
Background:Island species are vulnerable to rapid extinction,so it is important to develop accurate methods to determine their occurrence and habitat preferences.In this study,we assessed two methods for modeling the ...
The different breeding sites of Salamandra infraimmaculata on the southern border of its distribution were examined and mapped in order to estimate the damage caused by water holes that could represent death traps for...
In the present mini-review, published and unpublished data that have been collected for more than 40 years on the adaption of Salamandra infraimmaculata to semi-arid environments on the southern border of its distribu...
The present study examines the inherent flexibility in the feeding responses of S. infraimmaculata larvae to various breeding places. In addition, the study examines the hypothesis that in dry conditions, the water br...
