Comment
In the Pseudacris nigrita group. Reviewed by Smith, 1966, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 27: 1–2. Cocroft and Ryan, 1995, Animal Behav., 49: 283–303, discussed advertisement call in an evolutionary context. Shepard, Brown, and Butterfield, 2005, in Lannoo (ed.), Amph. Declines: 484–485, provided a detail account that summarized the range and relevant literature, in the sense of including Pseudacris illinoensis. See comment under Pseudacris illinoensis. Dodd, 2013, Frogs U.S. and Canada, 1: 416–421, provided an account that summarized the relevant literature. Barrow, Ralicki, Emme, and Lemmon, 2014, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 75: 78–90, demonstrated analytical paraphyly with respect to Pseudacris illinoensis, but suggested that this was due to incomplete lineage sorting. Elliot, Gerhardt, and Davidson, 2009, Frogs and Toads of N. Am.: 48–51, provided an account (in the sense of including Pseudacris illinoensis), photos, and advertisement call. Altig and McDiarmid, 2015, Handb. Larval Amph. US and Canada: 209–210, provided an account of larval morphology and biology.
