Abstract
The following overview on taxonomy, geography, and ecology of salamanders is based mainly on the most recent checklist of the amphibian species of the world, edited by Frost (1985), the classical study on pletho-dontid salamanders by Wake (1966), Thorn’s work on European salamanders (Thorn 1968), Grzimeks Tierleben Vol. 5, Part 2, (Freytag 1970), as well as various field guides (Behler and King 1979, Smith 1978, Conant 1975, Stebbins 1951). More detailed literature on the ecology of salamanders is cited within the text of this chapter.
