Taxonomic Notes: Populations in SE Portugal are genetically distinct. Raffaelli and Dubois (2009; Alytes) resurrected Lissotriton maltzani for them. Sequeira et al. (2020, J Evo Biol DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13562) studied the hybrid zone between genetic units in detail, concluding that the segment "may well qualify as a full, cryptic species" pending additional morphological and ecological studies and assessment of the strength of reproductive isolation in the hybrid zone. |
