Comment

In the Bufo boreas group of Blair, 1972, Evol. Genus Bufo: 350. Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Anaxyrus boreas. See comments by Schuierer, 1963 "1962", Herpetologica, 18: 262-267. Stebbins, 2003, Field Guide W. Rept. Amph., Ed. 3: 210, provided a brief account, figure, and map. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Bufo cristatus) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 183. Goebel, Ranker, Corn, and Olmstead, 2009, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 50: 209-225, discussed mtDNA phylogeography of the Anaxyrus boreas group and suggested that Anaxyrus exsul is the sister taxon of a group composed of some populations of Anaxyrus canorus, Anaxyrus nelsoni, and some populations of Anaxyrus boreas halophilus. Wang, 2009, Mol. Ecol., 18: 3847-3856, reported on landscape genetics.
