: The authors declare that the study complies with the international animal care guidelines, and under all required French permits accredited to the Subterranean Laboratory of Moulis/CNRS SETE Moulis by the “Ministère de l’Education Nationale, de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche”. The involvement of the animals in behavioural experiments was approved by the French ethics committee “Comité d’Éthique en Experimentation Animale”. In particular this study was in agreement with permits no. 2007, 52/2007b, 1935/2007, 2007-11-1342 relating to an authorisation of capture, marking, transport, detention, use, release of protected amphibian species, no. 09-219 allowing the Amphibian rearing capacity, no. 0108 addressing a breeding agreement. The animal experimentation ethical accreditation n°A09-1 allowed us to use Pyrenean newts and olms for the behavioural tests performed during the study that followed all the national ethical committee requirements.
