Their English names refer to their appearance: marbled newts have a green–black colour pattern, while the males of crested newts, which ...

Adolescent male marbled newt (Triturus marmoratus) [12] T. cristatus and T. marmoratus (marbled newts) overlap in some areas in France where their habitat preferences overlap; this allows them to hybridize. [13] T. cristatus has been known to occupy increasingly larger areas due to climate change fragmenting the habitat of the marbled newt ...
Adult newts in the genus Triturus were found to breathe mainly via the skin but also through the lungs and the buccal cavity.Lung breathing is mainly used when there is a lack of oxygen in the water, or at high activity such as during courtship, breeding, or feeding.
Later, the alpine newt was placed in the genus Triturus along with most other European newts. When genetic evidence showed that Triturus as then defined contained several unrelated lineages, [6] [7] [8] García-París and colleagues in 2004 split off the alpine newt as the monotypic genus Mesotriton, [9] which had been erected as a subgenus by ...
It is similar to the northern crested newt (Triturus cristatus) except larger and more robust. In 2013, the Balkan-Anatolian crested newt (Triturus ivanbureschi) was separated from the southern crested newt, [2] and in 2016, the Anatolian crested newt (Triturus anatolicus) was separated from T. ivanbureschi, henceforth just the Balkan crested ...
