The fire salamander, Salamandra salamandra L., in central Europe: subspecies distribution and intergradation
1992
AbstractAllozyme electrophoresis of 14 loci provided information on the distribution of the two central European subspecies of the fire salamander, Salamandra salamandra salamandra (dotted taxon) and S.s.terrestris (striped taxon), along an east-west-transect in Germany. 2183 larvae from 48 populations situated in 14 mountain ranges were studies. A broad (about 140 km wide) zone of intergradition between the two forms is described, ranging from the Hunsrück Mountains in the west to the Spessart in the east. Within this hybrid zone the populations are panmictic. Focussing on the Rhenish Slate Mountains, the western border of the hybrid zone is described in detail. A comparison between allozy…
Cracking the nut: Geographical adjacency of sister taxa supports vicariance in a polytomic salamander clade in the absence of node support
2008
The urodelan genus Lyciasalamandra, which inhabits a relatively small area along the southern Turkish coast and some Aegean islands, provides an outstanding example of a diverse but phylogenetically unresolved taxon. Molecular trees contain a single basal polytomy that could be either soft or hard. We here use the information of nuclear (allozymes) and mitochondrial (fractions of the 16S rRNA and ATPase genes) datasets in combination with area relationships of lineages to resolve the phylogenetic relationships among Lyciasalamandra species in the absence of sufficient node support. We can show that neither random processes nor introgressive hybridization can be invoked to explain that the m…
Trichromatic color vision in the salamander (Salamandra salamandra)
1995
Spectral sensitivity functions were measured between 334 nm and 683 nm in Salamandra salamandra by utilizing two behavioral reactions: the negative phototactic response, and the prey catching behavior elicited by a moving worm dummy. The action spectrum of the negative phototactic response revealed 3 pronounced maxima: at 360–400 nm, at 520–540 nm, and at 600–640 nm. In the range around 450 nm, there was a “reaction gap” where sensitivity could not be measured. The action spectrum of the prey catching behavior was entirely different: maximal sensitivity was found at 500 nm and at 570 nm. Between 500 nm and 334 nm sensitivity decreased continuously for about 1 log unit (Fig. 6).
Un témoignage de gestes funéraires antiques à Bonneuil-en-France (Val-d’Oise)
2022
Eine Suchschnittprospektion bei Bonneuil-en-France (Val-d’Oise), hat eine stark holzkohlehaltige Schicht zum Vorschein gebracht, die reich an verbrannten oder durch Feuereinwirkung beeinträchtigten archäologischem Fundgut war. Dieses kann in die zweite Hälfte des 1. oder an den Beginn des 2. Jh. n. Chr. datiert werden. Die archäologische Fundstelle, die sich im Talboden am Zusammenfluss von Crould und Morée befindet, gehört zu einer seit der späten Hallstattzeit genutzten Gräberlandschaft. Mehrere Argumente sprechen dafür, dass es sich hier um eine Schüttung von Überresten einer Brandbestattung handelt, bei der durch ein Auslesen der Leichenbrandreste nur wenige menschliche Knochen erhalten…
