Status of the Canadian toad (Bufo hemiophrys) in Alberta

Description

This wildlife status report looks at the Canadian toad, one of three species of the genus Bufo found in Alberta (the other species being the western toad and the great plains toad). Once a common inhabitant of the northern interior plains, the population of this species in the province has experience a sharp decline recently, and populations in other areas of its range may be declining as well. This report summarizes current and historical information on the Canadian Toad in Alberta, as a step in reviewing the status of the species in the province. It is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
