“Our findings of a genetically distinct group entirely contained to a Canadian province is very unusual. These genetic results suggest we should be doing more to protect this species, especially the Alberta population of the Western Toad because of its unique complement of the species’ total genetic diversity,” says Jayna Bergman, a PhD student at the Faculty of Science at the University of Ottawa.
