У рaду су прeзeнтoвaни пoдaци o мoрфoлoшкoj вaриjaбилнoсти и пoлнoм димoрфизму шaрeнoг дaждeвњaкa (Salamandra salamandra) сa плaнинe Oзрeн (Рeпубликa Српскa, БиХ). Teрeнскa истрaживaњa прoвeдeнa су тoкoм 2015. и 2016. гoдинe у прoљeће и jeсeн. Укупнo je узоркoвaнo и прeмjeрeнo 56 aдултних jeдинки – 33 мужjaкa и 23 жeнкe. Aнaлизирaнo je 14 мoрфoмeтриjских кaрaктeрa, мaсa тиjeлa и jeднa мeристичкa кaрaктeристикa. Примjeнoм t-тeстa устaнoвљeнa je стaтистички знaчajнa рaзликa измeђу пoлoвa зa мaсу тиjeлa, дужину шaкe, дужину стoпaлa и дужину клoaкe. Нa oснoву aнaлизe брoja нaбoрa сa лиjeвe и дeснe стрaнe тиjeлa устaнoвљeнo je дa тaj брoj вaрирa oд oсaм дo 12, при чeму су нajзaступљeниje билe jeдинкe сa 10 и 11 нaбoрa. Eвидeнтнa je и aсимeтриja у брojу нaбoрa измeђу лиjeвe и дeснe стрaнe тиjeлa – 45% jeдинки имaлo је нejeднaк брoj нaбoрa. У вези са oбojeнoсти дoрзaлнe стрaнe тиjeлaнajзaступљeниje су билe jeдинкe сa дифузнo рaсутим жутим мрљaмa (46%), дoк je у пoглeду oбojeнoсти вeнтрaлнe стрaнe тиjeлa примиjeћeнa нajвeћa зaступљeнoст jeдинки сa жутим мрљaмa (56%).

Amphibians are frequently found exploring subterranean environments. Even though in Europe there are already some reports of amphibians present in subterranean habitats, in Portugal there is a major lack of knowledge of these ecosystems, namely in the karst region. Considering the relevance of amphibians and their current conservational status, it is important to assess their presence in every potential habitat. In order to provide further knowledge over this subject a preliminary survey was carried out in two Portuguese karst massifs, Estremenho and Sicó. A total of 24 caves were surveyed and as result three species (Tarentola mauritanica; Salamandra salamandra and Pleorodeles waltl) were found in Estremenho karst massif, and two species (Triturus marmoratus and Bufo bufo) were observed in Sicó karst massif. Furthermore, evidences were found that P. waltl uses caves for reproduction, which had only been reported once in Spain. This allowed perceiving that herpetofauna species occupy caves of Portuguese karst massifs and are also using them as reproduction sites.

Abstract Phenotypic integration and modularity are concepts that represent the pattern of connectivity of morphological structures within an organism. Integration describes the coordinated variation of traits, and analyses of these relationships among traits often reveals the presence of modules, sets of traits that are highly integrated but relatively independent of other traits. Phenotypic integration and modularity have been studied at both the evolutionary and static level across a variety of clades, although most studies thus far are focused on amniotes, and especially mammals. Using a high-dimensional geometric morphometric approach, we investigated the pattern of cranial integration and modularity of the Italian fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra giglioli). We recovered a highly modular pattern, but this pattern did not support either entirely developmental or functional hypotheses of cranial organisation, possibly reflecting complex interactions amongst multiple influencing factors. We found that size had no significant effect on cranial shape, and that morphological variance of individual modules had no significant relationship with degree of within-module integration. The pattern of cranial integration in the fire salamander is similar to that previously recovered for caecilians, with highly integrated jaw suspensorium and occipital regions, suggesting possible conservation of patterns across lissamphibians.
