About: Albanerpeton

An Entity of Type: WikicatMioceneAmphibians, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Albanerpeton is an extinct genus of salamander-like lissamphibian found in North America and Europe, first appearing in Cretaceous-aged strata. There are eight described members of the genus, and one undiagnosed species from the Paskapoo Formation, with the most recent, A. ektopistikon being described by Carrano et al.in 2022. Members of the genus had a robust head and neck which likely allowed them to actively burrow, characteristic of fossorial species, and they lived in a wide range of environments. This genus of amphibian was the last of its order, surviving until the late Pliocene in southern Europe, and into the Early Pleistocene (Gelasian) of northern Italy. It likely became extinct when the region developed its present Mediterranean-type climate, having preferred one that was cold

dbo:abstract
  • Albanerpeton is an extinct genus of salamander-like lissamphibian found in North America and Europe, first appearing in Cretaceous-aged strata. There are eight described members of the genus, and one undiagnosed species from the Paskapoo Formation, with the most recent, A. ektopistikon being described by Carrano et al.in 2022. Members of the genus had a robust head and neck which likely allowed them to actively burrow, characteristic of fossorial species, and they lived in a wide range of environments. This genus of amphibian was the last of its order, surviving until the late Pliocene in southern Europe, and into the Early Pleistocene (Gelasian) of northern Italy. It likely became extinct when the region developed its present Mediterranean-type climate, having preferred one that was cold and humid. The monophyly of Albanerpeton has recently been questioned (en)
  • Albanerpetonfue un género extinto de lisanfibio similar a las salamandras presente en América del Norte y Europa. Existen ocho especies nombradas del género, A. ektopistikon siendo descrita por Carrano et al. en 2022 de la Formación Cloverly.​ Los miembros de este género poseían cabezas robustas con un cuello que probablemente les permitían excavar, algo característico de animales fosoriales, en los diversos ambientes que habitaban. Se trata del último género de su orden, originado en el Cretácico y sobreviviendo hasta el Plioceno en el sur de Europa, y hasta el Pleistoceno Inferior (Gelasiense) en el norte de Italia. Probablemente se extinguió por el cambio climático de la región, pasando de su clima preferido frío y húmedo al actual clima mediterráneo seco.​ La monofilia de Albanerpeton es dudosa.​​ (es)
  • Albanerpeton Estes and Hoffstetter, 1976 è un genere di anfibi estinti appartenente alla famiglia Albanerpetontidae; ad esso appartengono sette specie. Questo anfibio era vagamente simile ad una salamandra e visse tra il Cretacico inferiore (Aptiano) e il Pliocene superiore (Piacenziano), tra 125 milioni e 2,5 milioni di anni fa, in Eurasia e Nordamerica.
