- Abstract
In March 2023, we identified a Salamandra salamandra individual in the Getic Piedmont, southwestern Romania. This finding confirms the presence of the species in the Getic Piedmont, where it was recorded only once, 13 years ago, and is only subsequently reconfirmed now. Even if the new distribution record is at only 350 m from a previous record, it is important because we have identified an adult in an atypical habitat, represented by a dry grassland at the top of a hill. However, there are forest and water courses in the vicinity, which are favorable habitats for the species. The new distribution record confirms the presence of S. salamandra in the Getic Piedmont, outside its Carpathian main range, and pleads for new studies in the region.
