雷公山国家级自然保护区地区特异性的两栖动物新纪录—华西蟾蜍

A New Region-specific Amphibian Record—B. andrewsi Found in Leigongshan National Nature Reserve

华西蟾蜍的分类地位还尚存争议,采集地的来源是其中一个重要影响因素。2017年7月,在雷公山国家级自然保护区进行野外调查时,采集到1个两栖动物活体标本,经鉴定为华西蟾蜍,具有鲜明的地区特异性,主要表现为背部镶嵌纵向排列的2个大"Λ"型黑色斑纹。此物种首次在该保护区发现,对物种多样性、该物种的进化及动物地理学的研究具有重要意义。

The taxonomic validity of B.andrewsi as a species distinct from B.gargarizans has been debated in recent years,and the source of the collection is one of the most important factors.In July,2017,an live amphibian specimens was collected in the Leigongshan national nature reserve,and identified as B.andrewsi with distinct regional specificity,mainly showing a vertical arrangement of the two large＂Λ＂type black markings on the dorsum.This species was first discovered in the nature reserve and was of great importance for researching species diversity,species evolution and animal geography.
