Summary[edit] Description: The Balkan-Anatolian Crested Newt (Balkan crested newt or Buresch's crested newt) (Triturus ivanbureschi) is a newt species of the crested newt species complex in genus Triturus. The species was redescribed from southern crested newt (Triturus karelinii), with a new type specimen, as T. ivanbureschi in 2013, the species epithet was chosen in honour of Bulgarian zoologist and entomologist Ivan Buresh. Buresh was curator of the Royal Museum of Natural History (Bulgaria), director of the Royal Institutes of Natural Science, which included the Royal Museum of Natural History, the Sofia Zoo and the Botanical Garden. Its distribution ranges from the Southeastern Balkan peninsula (Western Macedonia, Northwestern Greece, Bulgaria, Eastern Thrace) to Western Anatolia, Turkey. An isolated population, surrounded by other crested newt species, occurs in Serbia. For the populations of crested newts most dangerous is destruction of the forests, as they are terrestrial animals living in mountainous areas, including deciduous and coniferous forests, and only during the breeding season goes into waterways.
