SSAR 9th Edition Comments:
See comment under Spea hammondii. Neal et al., 2018 (Conservation Genetics 19: 937–946), using nDNA and mtDNA recovered two distinct clades (“Oregon” and “California”), with the “Oregon” clade being sister to S. bombifrons and support for the California clade recovered as sister to the Southern clade of S. hammondii.
Range maps are based on curated specimens and provided gratis by CNAH.
