About this book

Language: German

This book is a monograph on the salamander genus Ommatotriton (banded newts), It became apparent early on that the species living on the western Black Sea coast differ significantly from those from northeast Turkey. This was ultimately taken into account by creating two subspecies and later species. Eventually, it was given its correct genus name again, Ommatotriton. The scientific interest in banded newts is well-founded. But there is another motivation for studying the species. Anyone who has ever observed the male's courtship will be fascinated by the breathtaking beauty of the animal: a deeply serrated high crest, a blue high tail fringe, and shiny golden flanks; this is a newt bursting with vitality and strength.

Summary in German:
Schon früh fiel auf, dass die an der westlichen Schwarzmeerküste lebenden Schwanzlurche der Art sich erheblich von den aus dem Nordosten der Türkei stammenden unterscheiden. Dem wurde letztlich durch das Erstellen zweier Unterarten und später Arten Rechnung getragen. Schließlich erhielten sie auch wieder ihren korrekten Gattungsnamen Ommatotriton. Das wissenschaftliche Interesse am Bandmolch ist wohl begründet. Aber es gibt noch einen weiteren Antrieb zur Beschäftigung mit der Art, wer schon einmal das Balzspiel des Männchens beobachten konnte, wird fasziniert sein von der atemberaubenden Schönheit des Tieres. Ein tief gezackter hoher Kamm, ein blauer hoher Schwanzsaum, golden glänzende Flanken. Ein vor Vitalität und Kraft strotzender Wassermolch.
