This variation can be partly explained by historical lineages that were temporally isolated from each other and are back into secondary reproductive contact, and partly by local adaptations. The smooth newt ( Lissotriton vulgaris ) is one of the most widely distributed amphibians species across Eurasia and forms a species complex with a partially overlapping distribution and morphology. In the present study, we explored the population genomic structure of smooth newt lineages in the Carpathian Basin (CB) relying on single‐nucleotide polymorphisms. Our dataset included new and previously published data to study the secondary contact zone between lineages in the CB and also tested for the barrier effect of rivers to gene flow between these lineages. We confirmed the presence of the South L. v. vulgaris Lineage distributed in Transdanubia and we provided new distribution records of L. v. ampelensis inhabiting the eastern territories of the CB. High genetic diversity of smooth newts was observed, especially in the North Hungarian Mountains and at the interfluves of the main rivers in the South with four distinct lineages of L. v. vulgaris and one lineage of L. v. ampelensis showing a low level of admixture with the spatially closest L. v. vulgaris lineage. Moreover, admixture detected at the interfluve of the main rivers (i.e. Danube and Tisza) suggested a secondary contact zone in the area. Finally, we found that the river Danube has a very weak effect on population divergence, while the river Tisza is a geographical barrier limiting gene flow between smooth newt lineages. As the range boundaries of L. v. vulgaris and L. v. ampelensis in the CB coincide with the river Tisza, our study underpins the influence of rivers in lineage diversification.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2045-7758}, orcid-numbers = {Herczeg, Dávid/0000-0001-5098-961X; Palomar, Gemma/0000-0002-0659-8766; van Riemsdijk, Isolde/0000-0001-9739-6512; Babik, Wiesław/0000-0002-1698-6615; Halpern, Bálint/0000-0003-0934-6246; Cvijanović, Milena/0000-0001-6258-3983; Vörös, Judit/0000-0001-9707-1443} } @article{MTMT:34119725, title = {Molecular and Morphological Assessment of Rain Frogs in the Pristimantis orestes Species Group with the Description of Three New Cryptic Species from Southern Ecuador}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34119725}, author = {Székely, P and Székely, D and Armijos-Ojeda, D and Hualpa-Vega, S and Vörös, Judit}, journal-iso = {HERPETOL MONOGR}, journal = {HERPETOLOGICAL MONOGRAPHS}, volume = {37}, unique-id = {34119725}, issn = {0733-1347}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1938-5137}, pages = {41-69}, orcid-numbers = {Vörös, Judit/0000-0001-9707-1443} } @{MTMT:33530419, title = {Dely Olivér György (1927-2003)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33530419}, author = {Vörös, Judit}, booktitle = {Magyar Múzeumi Arcképcsarnok II.}, unique-id = {33530419}, year = {2022}, pages = {65-66}, orcid-numbers = {Vörös, Judit/0000-0001-9707-1443} } @article{MTMT:33291037, title = {Climate warming triggers the emergence of native viruses in Iberian amphibians}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33291037}, author = {Thumsová, Barbora and Price, Stephen J. and González-Cascón, Victoria and Vörös, Judit and Martínez-Silvestre, Albert and Rosa, Gonçalo M. and Machordom, Annie and Bosch, Jaime}, doi = {10.1016/j.isci.2022.105541}, journal-iso = {ISCIENCE}, journal = {ISCIENCE}, volume = {25}, unique-id = {33291037}, abstract = {The number of epizootics in amphibian populations caused by viruses of the genus Ranavirus is increasing worldwide.

Whereas the signal is similar between both genomes within most subspecies, the relative relationships between subspecies are more differentiated. Moreover, the nuclear phylogenetic reconstruction supports genetic homogeneity within V. u. macrops (in contrast to mtDNA). Both genetic portions show an unexpected differentiation between a population from Bistra Mountain and other V. u. macrops populations. Globally, the microsatellite markers suggest high genetic diversity in most subspecies, even in V. u. rakosiensis which is highly threatened; only V. u. macrops showed a limited genetic diversity. Within lowland subspecies, the differentiation between populations is globally limited compared to the distance between them (except in some populations of V. u. moldavica ). The limited differentiation might be the consequence of a recent isolation (few decades) of previously large populations.

We conducted a study over four years on an isolated fire salamander population inhabiting a stream valley northwest of Budapest, Hungary. Our aim was to understand aspects of larval development and habitat usage within this population. The maximum number of larvae was observed in April and the first weeks of May. Due to drifting caused by heavy rainfall, there was a mean decrease of 63.3% in the number of larvae. The abundance of larval salamanders within 16 stream segments showed strong temporal and spatial variation, and there was a strong relationship between larval abundance and the % cover of fine gravel substrate. Some of the larvae could escape drift by entering pools with slower water flow and shelter. Larvae were predominantly solitary in smaller pools but occasionally aggregated in high numbers in some segments. The first larvae with yellow spots (indicative of metamorphosis) appeared in June, and by early September, all larvae were metamorphosing. Our results show that in this urbanised environment, larval development through to metamorphosis is occurring, but increasing urbanisation and alterations to stream flow threaten the persistence of the local population.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2064-2474}, pages = {321-340}, orcid-numbers = {Vörös, Judit/0000-0001-9707-1443; Hamer, Andrew/0000-0001-6031-7841} } @article{MTMT:32707361, title = {Description of the tadpole of Phyllodytes amadoi (Anura: Hylidae) from its type locality in Bahia, Brazil}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32707361}, author = {Vörös, Judit and Dias, I R and Bolaños, W and Solé, M}, journal-iso = {SALAMANDRA}, journal = {SALAMANDRA}, volume = {58}, unique-id = {32707361}, issn = {0036-3375}, year = {2022}, pages = {71-75}, orcid-numbers = {Vörös, Judit/0000-0001-9707-1443} } @article{MTMT:32623513, title = {Movement patterns within an urban population of fire salamanders highlight the importance of conserving small habitat patches}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32623513}, author = {Kiss, István and Vörös, Judit and Hamer, Andrew}, doi = {10.1111/jzo.12949}, journal-iso = {J ZOOL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY}, volume = {316}, unique-id = {32623513}, issn = {0952-8369}, abstract = {Movement is an ecological process that affects individual fitness and population dynamics of species. Understanding movement patterns is crucial for the effective conservation of amphibian populations isolated by urban development. Here, we conducted a capture-recapture study over 6 years in a population of the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) inhabiting a 7.3-ha patch of forest and disturbed land-use types in an urbanised catchment north-west of Budapest, Hungary. We investigated relationships between movement distances and environmental, spatial and demographic parameters in order to understand how this species is able to persist in a relatively small and isolated habitat patch. We found that most movement was aggregated around a permanent stream and that movement distances were generally <= 200 m, with maximum distances of 925 and 707 m for males and females, respectively. Movement patterns within the population were best modelled using a negative exponential function characterised by infrequent long-distance movement. Males had substantially larger home range sizes than females and were predicted to have larger movement distances. Mean movement distances were predicted to be larger in disturbed areas in the upper stream catchment which included residential areas, compared with smaller movements in more natural forest near the stream. There was a positive relationship between mean movement distance and body condition. Our results suggest that this local population persists in a relatively small habitat patch because it provides a stable breeding site and suitable foraging and shelter microhabitats. Conservation of the local population requires protection of the structure, connectivity and quality of forest and stream habitats, and preventing urban development in the surrounding catchment.}, keywords = {BEHAVIOR; SIZE; DISPERSAL; DISPERSAL; MORPHOLOGY; FRAGMENTATION; body condition; CONSERVATION; CONSERVATION; DETERMINANTS; CONSEQUENCES; amphibian; Salamandra salamandra; capture-recapture; spatial ecology; AMPHIBIAN ECOLOGY}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1469-7998}, pages = {240-249}, orcid-numbers = {Vörös, Judit/0000-0001-9707-1443} } @article{MTMT:32528906, title = {The distribution and biogeography of slow worms (Anguis, Squamata) across the Western Palearctic, with an emphasis on secondary contact zones}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32528906}, author = {Jablonski, Daniel and Sillero, Neftalí and Oskyrko, Oleksandra and Bellati, Adriana and Čeirāns, Andris and Cheylan, Marc and Cogălniceanu, Dan and Crnobrnja-Isailović, Jelka and Crochet, Pierre-André and Crottini, Angelica and Doronin, Igor and Džukić, Georg and Geniez, Philippe and Ilgaz, Çetin and Iosif, Ruben and Jandzik, David and Jelić, Dušan and Litvinchuk, Spartak and Ljubisavljević, Katarina and Lymberakis, Petros and Mikulíček, Peter and Mizsei, Edvárd and Moravec, Jiří and Najbar, Bartłomiej and Pabijan, Maciej and Pupins, Mihails and Sourrouille, Patricia and Strachinis, Ilias and Szabolcs, István Márton and Thanou, Evanthia and Tzoras, Elias and Vergilov, Vladislav and Vörös, Judit and Gvoždík, Václav}, doi = {10.1163/15685381-bja10069}, journal-iso = {AMPHIBIA-REPTILIA}, journal = {AMPHIBIA-REPTILIA}, volume = {42}, unique-id = {32528906}, issn = {0173-5373}, abstract = {The slow-worm lizards (Anguis) comprise five species occurring throughout most of the Western Palearctic.
