The abundance of premetamorphic newts (triturus cristatus, t. marmoratus) as a function of habitat determinants: an a priori model selection approach (2004)
Journal Article
model selection approach. Herpetological journal, 14, 89-97

Despite the key role of premetamorphic amphibians in experimental ecology, the factors
affecting their abundance has received relatively little attention in natural settings. We applied
a model selection approach with AIC (Akaike's Information Crit... Read More about The abundance of premetamorphic newts (triturus cristatus, t. marmoratus) as a function of habitat determinants: an a priori model selection approach.

Review: microsatellite markers in amphibian conservation genetics (2002)
Journal Article
Jehle, R., & Arntzen, J. (2002). Review: microsatellite markers in amphibian conservation genetics. Herpetological journal, 12, 1-9

Recent technical advances allow straightforward access to genetic information directly drawn
from DNA. The present article highlights the suitability of high variation molecular genetic
markers, such as microsatellites, for studies relevant to amph... Read More about Review: microsatellite markers in amphibian conservation genetics.

The annual number of breeding adults and the effective population size of syntopic newts ( Triturus cristatus , T. marmoratus ) (2001)
Journal Article
). Molecular Ecology, 10, 839-850

Pond-breeding amphibians are deme-structured organisms with a population genetic
structure particularly susceptible to demographic threats. We estimated the effective
number of breeding adults (

High aquatic niche overlap in the newts Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus (Amphibia, Urodela) (2000)
Journal Article
T. marmoratus (Amphibia, Urodela). Hydrobiologia, 437, 149-155

We studied spatial niche metrics of large-bodied newts (Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus) in three breeding
ponds in western France. Adults and larvae were sampled with underwater funnel traps. Larvae were identified to
the species with diagnos... Read More about High aquatic niche overlap in the newts Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus (Amphibia, Urodela).

Post-breeding migrations of newts (Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus) with contrasting ecological requirements (2000)
Journal Article
T. marmoratus) with contrasting ecological requirements. Journal of Zoology, 251, 297-306

Two newt species with contrasting ecological requirements (Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus) were
radio-tracked after leaving a shared breeding pond in western France. Movements of 30 individuals were
recorded over 491 days. During the ®rst ter... Read More about Post-breeding migrations of newts (Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus) with contrasting ecological requirements.

Rare hybridization and introgression in smooth and palmate newts (Salamandridae: Triturus vulgaris and T. helveticus) (1998)
Journal Article
Triturus vulgaris and T. helveticus). Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 36, 111-122

This paper describes the occurrence of hybridization and introgression in two species of amphibians (the newts Trifurus helrelicus and Trirurus
culgaris) in mid-Wales, northern France and western France. A single aberrant adult male with intermediat... Read More about Rare hybridization and introgression in smooth and palmate newts (Salamandridae: Triturus vulgaris and T. helveticus).

Pits versus patterns: effects of transponders on recapture rate and body condition of Danube crested newts (Triturus Dobrogicus) and common spadefoot toads (Pelobates Fuscus) (1998)
Journal Article
Dobrogicus) and common spadefoot toads (Pelobates Fuscus). Herpetological journal, 8, 181-186

During a long-terrn study (1987-1996) near Vienna (Austria), individual Danube crested
newts (Trititrus dobrogicus) and cornmon spadefoot toads (Pelobates fuscus) were registered by
photographs of highly variable Skin patterns, and the implantation... Read More about Pits versus patterns: effects of transponders on recapture rate and body condition of Danube crested newts (Triturus Dobrogicus) and common spadefoot toads (Pelobates Fuscus).

Graded call variation in male Asian cricket frogs (Rana nicobariensis) (1998)
Journal Article
Jehle, R., & Arak, A. (1998). Graded call variation in male Asian cricket frogs (Rana nicobariensis). Bioacoustics, 9, 35-48

We describe the vocal repertoire of the Asian cricket frog Rana nicobariensis for the first time. Three structurally-distinct call types exist: advertisement calls, aggressive calls and encounter calls. Compound calls consisting of both advertisement...

During a long-term study of the amphibian fauna on an artificial island near Vienna (Austria), one isolated site was completely encircled with a permanent drift fence and pitfall traps. Eleven amphibian species occurred at the study site. For the Com...

In 2005, an epidemic of the cestode Triaenophorus
crassus in Arctic charr, Salvelinus umbla from Lake
Grundlsee (Austria) was reported, resulting in the closure
of the local fisheries. The parasite uses a copepod and a
salmonid fish as intermedia... Read More about Differential diagnosis of Triaenophorus crassus and T. nodulosus experimental infection in Cyclops abyssorum praealpinus (Copepoda) from the Alpine Lake Grundlsee (Austria) using PCR–RFLP.
