Status of the Great Plains toad (Bufo [Anaxyrus] cognatus) in Alberta : update 2009

Description

This wildlife status report looks at the Great Plains toad, a moderately large toad species and one of three species of the genus Bufo found in Alberta (the other species being the western toad and the Canadian toad). The Great Plains toad prefers ephemeral, clear, shallow ponds within areas of sandy soil in the mixed grasslands of southeastern Alberta, which is the northwestern extreme of the species' global range. This report compiles and summarizes the most recent information available on the Great Plains toad in Alberta as a means toward updating the species' current provincial status. 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.
