Demographic consequences of changing body size in a terrestrial salamander

Raisa Hernandez-Pacheco et al.

Summary: This study investigated the demographic effects of changes in body size for a terrestrial salamander using capture-mark-recapture data and found a strong dependency of the population growth rate on changes in individual size. The research highlights the importance of considering body size in population dynamics and viability, especially in understudied and threatened groups like amphibians.

Salamander loss alters litter decomposition dynamics

Alexandra E. Laking et al.

Summary: The loss of salamanders due to disease has been found to impact the dynamics of forest leaf litter, leading to a reduction in the decomposition rate of oak litter and changes in the functional composition of invertebrate communities. This study highlights the role of salamanders in influencing ecosystem functions through trophic cascades.

Maternal Body Size and Condition Predict Measures of Reproductive Success and Future Reproductive Allocation in Territorial Eastern Red-Backed Salamanders

Sharon E. Wise et al.

Summary: Biologists studying Eastern Red-backed Salamanders found that maternal body size and condition play a significant role in reproductive success, affecting clutch size, offspring size, and survival rate. Larger maternal size and better condition were associated with larger clutch sizes and offspring sizes, as well as increased offspring survival. This suggests that investing energy in maternal growth and health can lead to greater reproductive success in territorial animals like P. cinereus.
