Fifteen shades of green: The evolution of Bufotes toads revisited
Abstract
15 Bufotes species dissected by genomics and multiple genetic/biometric datasets. Widespread mitochondrial replacements and the super-cryptic species concept. Diverse but asymmetric origins of allopolyploid hybrid species. A discontinuous speciation continuum across 10 pairs of hybridizing lineages. Major taxonomic revisions, including the descriptions of two new species.
