The Genus Triturus - Eurasian Newts

Description: This is a brand new book in original shrink wrap and hot of the press. TITLE: The Genus Triturus AUTHOR: Michael Fahrbach AUTHOR: Uwe Gerlach DESCRIPTION: The focus of this book is clearly on the biology and ecology of crested and marbled newts, which are much less represented in fundamental literature. Considering the acute threat to tailed amphibians by the salamander fungal pest Bsal, the authors comprehensive recommendations for keeping the Triturus in captivity could also be, or become, of great value for applied species conservation. In the following chapters, the authors paint detailed pictures of the present state of knowledge on subjects such as husbandry, ethology, diet, and reproduction of the taxa in captivity. They present themselves as competent keepers of newts and convey to us all a wealth of specialist knowledge that is based on personal expertise. Currently the genus Triturus comprises the group of Crested Newts (Triturus anatolicus, Triturus carnifex, Triturus cristatus, Triturus dobrogicus, Triturus ivanbureschi, Triturus karelinii, Triturus macedonicus) as well as the Marbled Newts (Triturus marmoratus and Triturus pygmaeus). The natural distribution of Triturus is within Eurasia (Europe and Western Asia). This monographs includes detailed information on the natural habitats of all species and their biology. Captive breeding is shown in different variants using a large number of photographs. Keeping newts in outdoor enclosures is especially emphasized. Preface by Wolf-Rüdiger Große.

Schmidtler, a chapter on skin toxins by Dietrich Mebs and a chapter on diseases and captive management by Frank Pasmans and An Martel.
