Arkansas Herpetological Atlas 2019
This species is represented by 2,104 records from 41 sources: 1,924 museum (
), 0 literature (
), 0 research (
), and 128 observation (
), with 52 additional Trauth et al. (2004) locality points remaining unsourced (
). It has been museum vouchered for 71 of 75 counties (), with 2 additional counties having other forms of reported occurrence (). Years of collection range from 1898 to present.
This species occurs statewide. Hybridization with A. woodhousii woodhousii (■) has most notably been reported from southwest Arkansas (Trauth et al., 2004), although the extent of this influence is poorly resolved. Morphological variation and potential hybridization among species of Anaxyrus can make definitive identification difficult. Specimen and call surveys in recent years have failed to produce evidence of this species in northwest Arkansas (K. G. Roberts, pers. obs.; J. D. Willson, pers. comm.), so the approximately 30 historical records from this corner of the state may warrant reexamination.
