Summary 1 This review examines the intraspecific patterns and differences in life‐history
traits of amphibian populations living at different altitudes and latitudes. Specifically we …

Observations on the ontogeny and diversity of salamanders provided some of the earliest
evidence that shifts in developmental trajectories have made a substantial contribution to the …

Il n'est pas clairement établi que la règle de Bergmann, taille plus grande des individus
d'une espèce dans les zones plus fraîches, s' applique à tous les groupes d'ectothermes …

Abstract The Guiana Shield (GS) is one of the most pristine regions of Amazonia and
biologically one of the richest areas on Earth. How and when this massive diversity arose …

Large‐scale patterns of body size variation are described by well‐known generalizations
such as Bergmann's rule; the generality and underlying causes of these patterns have been …

Infectious disease and climate change are considered major threats to biodiversity and act
as drivers behind the global amphibian decline. This is, to a large extent, based on short …

Skeletochronology has been widely and successfully used to age temperate amphibians,
enabling geographic comparisons of longevity and the age at maturity. To date, however …

Little is known about the terrestrial phase of high-altitude populations of European
amphibians, in spite of potentially important implications for conservation and management …

We studied the characteristics of bone growth assessed by skeletochronology in a southern
crested newt Triturus karelinii (Urodela) population from Western Turkey. The timing and …

Age and growth in Lacerta agilis (ssp. L. a. boemica) and a closely related sympatric species
L. strigata from the eastern North Caucasus, Russia were assessed by skeletochronology …
