Comment

Reviewed by Kraus, 1996, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 621: 1-4, and Petranka, 1998, Salamand. U.S. Canada: 40. Robertson, Ramsden, Niedzwiecki, Fu, and Bogart, 2006, Mol. Ecol., 15: 3339-3351, implicated Ambystoma barbouri as the maternal ancestor in the nonmonophyletic collection of hybrid-origin unisexual Ambystoma populations. Raffaëlli, 2007, Les Urodèles du Monde: 99, provided a brief account, figure, and map. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 636.
