Surviving in Isolation - Genetic and Phenotypic Variation in Fragmented populations of the Alpine salamander Salamandra Atra Prenjensis (Amphibia: Urodela: Salamandridae) - Emina Šunje

This research investigates fragmented alpine salamander populations across the Dinarides to understand their evolutionary history, local adaptation, and vulnerability. By analysing poison levels, water-loss resistance, environmental differences, and future climate suitability, the study aims to reveal how habitat shapes amphibian evolution and provide essential data for conserving the ancient Salamandra atra prenjensis lineage.
