However, despite the importance of salamanders in many resource?consumer networks, their functional role remains remarkably understudied. Therefore, this volume, entitled The Ecological Role of Salamanders as Prey and Predators, provides an opportunity for researchers to highlight the new research on the ecological role of salamanders and newts in prey?predator systems, their trophic behavior, and the variability of their trophic niche in space and time. Various innovative methods, such as COI metabarcoding and network analysis, are applied in the present study to test both the classical and new hypotheses concerning the trophic ecology of salamanders and their interactions with their prey. The present volume is composed of one review and seven research papers, all of which are published after undergoing a complete and impartial peer-review process. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aartificial cave 610 $aecotone 610 $aprey-predator system 610 $asalamanders 610 $aSpeleomantes 610 $asubterranean habitat 610 $aamphibia 610 $aenergy flow 610 $ahabitat coupling 610 $apredator-prey interactions 610 $atop-down control 610 $atrophic cascades 610 $atrophic ecology 610 $aUrodela 610 $acave biology 610 $aprey 610 $ahypogean 610 $aunderground 610 $astygofauna 610 $aMonolistra 610 $aSphaeromatidae 610 $aNiphargus 610 $aflatworm 610 $aaqueduct 610 $aseepage 610 $aindividual diet specialization 610 $aecological opportunity 610 $adiet 610 $aplethodontid 610 $acommunity ecology 610 $aTriturus 610 $aLissotriton 610 $acoexisting species 610 $atrophic niche 610 $aniche width 610 $aniche variation hypothesis 610 $aamphibians 610 $afeeding ecology 610 $aindividual specialization 610 $aresource selection 610 $aHydromantes 610 $abody condition 610 $abiospeleology 610 $aparental species 610 $asize 610 $acapture-mark-recapture 610 $aCOI 610 $aDNA metabarcoding 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aSebastiano$b Salvidio$4edt$01309615 702 $aSebastiano$b Salvidio$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910566458503321 996 $aThe Ecological Role of Salamanders as Predators and Prey$93029456 997 $aUNINA
