Significant reductions of host abundance weakly impact infection intensity of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
Published 2020-01-01“…Our laboratory-based experiment supported the conclusion that varying density had a significant effect on infection intensity when salamander larvae were housed at low densities. Our field experiment showed that reducing the abundance of salamander larvae in the field also had a significant, but weak, impact on infection the following year, but only when removals were extreme. …”

Past, present, and future climate space of the only endemic vertebrate genus of the Italian peninsula
Published 2021-11-01“…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. …”

Position of rhodopsin photoisomerization on the disk surface confers variability to the rising phase of the single photon response in vertebrate rod photoreceptors.
Published 2020-01-01“…Variability arising from randomness in the transverse location of photoisomerization increased in magnitude and persisted over a longer period in the photon response of large salamander rods. A symmetric arrangement of multiple incisures in the disks of salamander rods greatly reduced this variability during the rising phase, but the incisures had the opposite effect on variability arising from randomness in rhodopsin shutoff at later times.…”

Simple model for encoding natural images by retinal ganglion cells with nonlinear spatial integration.
Published 2022-03-01“…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
Published 2017-11-01“…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. …”

We hypothesize that the design of the skull in the purely terrestrial living salamander shows a similar degree of intracranial mobility. …”
