Triturus is a genus of newts comprising the crested and the marbled newts, which are found from Great Britain through most of continental Europe to westernmost Siberia, Anatolia, and the Caspian Sea region. Their English names refer to their appearance: marbled newts have a green–black colour pattern, while the males of crested newts, which ...
The northern crested newt, great crested newt or warty newt (Triturus cristatus) is a newt species native to Great Britain, northern and central continental Europe and parts of Western Siberia. It is a large newt, with females growing up to 16 cm (6.3 in) long. Its back and sides are dark brown, while the belly is yellow to orange with dark ...
Adolescent male marbled newt (Triturus marmoratus) [12] T. cristatus and T. marmoratus (marbled newts) overlap in some areas in France where their habitat preferences overlap; this allows them to hybridize. [13] T. cristatus has been known to occupy increasingly larger areas due to climate change fragmenting the habitat of the marbled newt ...
Triturus (Triturus) dobrogicus dobrogicus Dubois & Raffaëlli, 2009 Triturus ( Triturus ) dobrogicus macrosoma Dubois & Raffaëlli, 2009 The Danube crested newt or Danube newt ( Triturus dobrogicus ) is a species of newt found in central and eastern Europe, along the basin of the Danube river and some of its tributaries and in the Dnieper delta.
The male develops a brightly colored protuberance at the tip of the tail. [3] Distribution and habitat ... (Triturus boscai, pp. 51–52 + Plate 4 + Map 16).
The Anatolian crested newt was described by Ben Wielstra and Jan Willem Arntzen in 2016. [2] Mitochondrial DNA data had already suggested that it was a separate species in a 2013 study, but the authors had preferred to await a more detailed analysis before formal species description and temporarily included it in the Balkan crested newt (Triturus ivanbureschi), which had been split from the ...
Günther Erich Freytag described the species in 1955 as Triturus vulgaris kosswigii, a subspecies of the smooth newt (now Lissotriton vulgaris). [3] After genetic data had suggested the smooth newt was a complex of distinct lineages, [7] Dubois and Raffaëlli, in 2009, recognised several subspecies, including Kosswig's smooth newt, as distinct ...
Adult newts in the genus Triturus were found to breathe mainly via the skin but also through the lungs and the buccal cavity.Lung breathing is mainly used when there is a lack of oxygen in the water, or at high activity such as during courtship, breeding, or feeding.
