A comparative analysis of hematological parameters was for the first time performed in two ectothermal amphibians of the Middle Ural fauna, the Siberian salamander Salamandrella keyserlingii and lake frog Pelophylax ridibundиs. Species specificity of immune defense was demonstrated with respect to granulocyte and agranulocyte counts (p < 0.001). A high lymphocyte content (73.3-76.1%) of provides for the activation of acquired adaptive immunity mechanisms in the thermophilic lake frog. The Siberian salamander is adapted to low negative temperatures and has a set of nonspecific leukocytes (39.3-44.4%). Innate immunity is better developed in the Siberian salamander compared with the lake frog.

Due to traditional classification methods' limitations, some cryptic species remain undiscovered. To better explore the existence of the Schrenck salamander (Salamandrella tridactyla, a cryptic species of Siberian salamander S. keyserlingii) in China, we conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis to confirm the taxonomic relationship among Salamandrella species and investigate genetic variation.

Background: West Siberia is a large region in North Eurasia, which harbours multiple climatic zones, landscape types and biomes. Its amphibian fauna is characterised by a combination of European and Asian species. For many species, this region is the place where the limits of their global ranges are located (, , ).

The Siberian salamander Dybowski, 1870 is a unique amphibian that is capable to survive long-term freezing at -55 °C. Nothing is known on the biochemical basis of this remarkable freezing tolerance, except for the fact that it uses glycerol as a low molecular weight cryoprotectant. We used H-NMR analysis to study quantitative changes of multiple metabolites in liver and hindlimb muscle of in response to freezing.
