A new vertebrate species native to the British isles: Bufo spinosus Daudin, 1803 in Jersey

Recent molecular and morphological studies have shown that Bufo bufo and B. spinosus are genetically distinct and morphologically diagnosable across a relatively narrow contact zone in northern France and should be regarded as different species. However, the species identity of the neighbouring popu...
