One of the most interesting heterochronic processes in the European newt
(genus Triturus) is paedomorphosis, a phenomenon of attaining
reproductive maturity while retaining larval features. However,
paedomorphosis seems to be rare in the crested newt (Triturus cristatus
superspecies). In the locality Vrba, near the town of Tuzi (Montenegro),
Dr Georg Dzukic found paedomorphic Macedonian crested newt (Triturus
macedonicus). In this paper, new evidence for this heterochronic process
in the crested newt from Montenegro is reported.
