Past, present, and future climate space of the only endemic vertebrate genus of the Italian peninsula by Loredana Macaluso, Andrea Villa, Giorgio Carnevale, Massimo Delfino

“…This result allows possible assumptions about the climatic influence on the former extirpation of this salamander from several areas of Europe. Furthermore, it shows that, during Pliocene–Pleistocene climatic oscillations, Mediterranean peninsulas, despite being generally considered together because of similar latitude, had different potential to effectively become glacial refugia for this salamander, and possibly for other species as well. …”

Simple model for encoding natural images by retinal ganglion cells with nonlinear spatial integration. by Jian K Liu, Dimokratis Karamanlis, Tim Gollisch

“…We here study the influence of spatial nonlinearities in the encoding of natural images by ganglion cells, using multielectrode-array recordings from isolated salamander and mouse retinas. We assess how responses to natural images depend on first- and second-order statistics of spatial patterns inside the receptive field. …”

Metabarcoding of Environmental DNA Samples to Explore the Use of Uranium Mine Containment Ponds as a Water Source for Wildlife by Katy E. Klymus, Catherine A. Richter, Nathan Thompson, Jo Ellen Hinck

“…We recovered large numbers of sequence reads from taxa expected to be in the area and from less common or hard to observe taxa such as the tiger salamander and gray fox. Detection of these two species is of note because they were not observed in a previous species assessment, and tiger salamander DNA was found in the mine containment pond sample. …”
