AB  - We studied intraspecific and interspecific variations of early life-history traits for four crested newt species with different habitat preferences. Although we found considerable variation in size and growth rate between offspring of conspecific females, the species effect appeared to be much more pronounced. The crested newt species we examined differed in egg size, size of larvae at hatching and growth rate. Triturus dobrogicus appeared to be the outlier species among these species, and showed (1) the smallest egg size, (2) the smallest larval size at hatching and (3) the longest larval period, resulting in the largest metamorphosed juveniles.

AB  - We report herein on egg size characteristics (vitellus volume and jelly/vitellus ratio) of 4 crested newt
species (Triturus cristatus superspecies). The key results were as follows: (1) maternal and population effects
on these characteristics were detected, however, the species effect was much more pronounced; (2) in terms of
the vitellus volume, T. karelinii and T. macedonicus had the largest eggs, T. dobrogicus had the smallest, and T.
cristatus had eggs of intermediate size; (3) all species significantly differed in their jelly/vitellus ratio values, with
the lowest ratio in T. macedonicus followed by T. karelinii, T. cristatus, and T. dobrogicus with the highest ratio
value; and (4) the species shared a common allometric slope of the egg volume/body size relationship. The egg
size traits appeared to follow a evolutionary trend similar to that of the morphological and ecological diversity
characteristics.

AB  - We used a phylogenetic perspective in an examination of the direction and extent of sexual dimorphism in body size and body shape in European newts from the Balkan Peninsula (alpine newts, Mesotriton alpestris; crested newts, Triturus cristatus superspecies; smooth newts, Lissotriton vulgaris). We found a strong, female-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in the analysed clades of alpine newt, whereas within crested newts we found a less stringent female-biased SSD in Triturus carnifex, Triturus macedonicus and Triturus karelinii, and no significant SSD in T. cristatus or Triturus dobrogicus. Among the smooth newts, we found male-biased SSD in Lissotriton vulgaris vularis and Lissotriton vulgaris greacus and no SSD in Lissotriton vulgaris meridionalis. Most of these newts also exhibit a significant sexual dimorphism in body shape, which varied more randomly than body size, regardless of SSD level. Female and male body size as well as the degree of SSD displayed statistically significant phylogenetic signal, while sexual dimorphism in body shape was phylogenetically independent. The relationship between independent contrast data for female size and male size indicated that SSD in European newts could be driven by a disproportionate increase in female size as increase in female size was not accompanied by a proportional increase in male size.
