During three consecutive years, we compared the reproductive characteristics and
oviposition dynamics of two crested newt species, Triturus ivanbureschi and T …

The annual reproductive cycle was studied in a Triturus alpestris apuanus population from
northwestern Italy. Adult and larval newts were captured and measured monthly. By using …

Simple Summary Two moderately related large-bodied newt species endemic to the Balkan
Peninsula, the Balkan crested newt (Triturus ivanbureschi) and the Macedonian crested …

The two larger newt species in Europe, Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus, have largely
exclusive distributions but live in sympatry in a small area in western France, where they …

The annual life cycle of pond breeding amphibians is characterized by periodical migrations
between three critical habitats: breeding, post breeding-feeding-and hibernating. The …

In amphibians, morphological differentiation and disparity at the larval and post-
metamorphic ontogenetic stages can diverge, owing to various contrasting environments …

Diversity in reproductive modes is well known in amphibians, mainly among anurans, which
are characterized by a diversity in breeding biology that exceeds that of any other tetrapod …

Oviposition site selection in Triturus helveticus, T. alpestris and T. cristatus was studied both
in natural and laboratory situations. In a natural breeding site, eggs of the three species …

Many different reproductive strategies have been documented in anurans. In particular, in
the family Leptodactylidae, oviposition strategies range from aquatic to terrestrial, based on …

Most animals develop some kind of parental care in order to protect eggs or offspring from
predation. Female newts (genus Triturus) protect eggs from predators by wrapping them …
