Description
Summary:Common Toad Bufo bufo (Linneaus 1758) Distribution (Figure 4). Included records from Artportalen (N=1325): all reports have been included from the Southern, Middle, and Northern Boreal. However, in the Alpine region inexperienced observers may confuse this species with locally dark and short-limbed Rana temporaria . Therefore, only records of calling males, those made by known experienced observers or documented by pictures have been included from the Alpine region and adjacent uppermost parts of the Northern Boreal. Widespread and common throughout the Southern and Middle Boreal, scarce but widespread in lower altitudes of the Northern Boreal north to Lule lappmark. The documented northern distribution limit runs near the Arctic Circle but could be farther north (Figure 4). As expected, the highest records are from the southern part of the Scandic Mountains (580 m altitude; Tjovre, Jämtland). Farther north, the highest records in Lycksele lappmark are at 475 m, and at 270 m in Lule lappmark, where the ... : Published as part of Elmberg, Johan, 2023, Amphibians and reptiles in North Sweden: distribution, habitat affinities, and abundance (Classes: Amphibia and Reptilia), pp. 301-335 in Zootaxa 5301 (3) on pages 309-312, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5301.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/8030434 ...
